003With 24 days left until Christmas the boys and I read A Wish to be a Christmas Tree by Colleen Monroe Illustrated by Michael Glenn Monroe.  This was a great story with beautiful pictures.

The book is written in flowing rhyme, and tells about an older tree that knows he has grown too big for any family to pick for their Christmas tree.  This makes him very sad.  The forest animals are all very thankful for what this tree gives to them year around and one night while he is sleeping they all decorate him and make him into a beautiful Christmas tree.

This is a wonderful story about giving, friendship and love.  A Wish to be a Christmas Tree would make a great addition to your families Christmas library.

    I don’t remember reading Christmas books as a child…I remember watching tv specials…My children’s favorite book is The Jolly Christmas Postman. They love opening all of the little letters the postman carries to various places. It never gets old for them. Thanks for the chance to win!

  • A Little About Me

    ME I am a stay at home mom with three boys, and I have been married to my high school sweetheart since 1997. I love my family, I love to cook, I love to take pictures and above all I love the Lord. My goal is to live by this scripture...'Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.' Matthew 5:16 Which, as a friend pointed out, we need daily reminders of this. Please come back and visit. And please leave a comment if you stop by, I would love to know you were here.

    Save Babies From Premature Birth ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two of our boys were preemies. Caleb and Andrew, both had NICU stays. Thank God they were both short stays and are healthy today. Many more babies and parents are not so lucky. ----------------------- Every day 1 in 8 babies born in the U.S. arrives too soon. Premature birth can happen to any pregnant woman, and no one knows why. It is a serious, common and costly problem. The March of Dimes is leading the campaign to reduce premature birth by supporting research and by educating the public and health care providers. --www.marchofdimes.com
