The description given of the book is exactly what you get. David Hohn's art is delightful! The message is right on target. The 25% off after Christmas is appreciated. I can hardly wait to give this book to some little friends next Christmas

This is an absolutely wonderful book for children both in the darling illustrations and in the content that explains the true meaning of Christmas as being the birth of Jesus Christ and that He is the greatest gift a person could ever receive. The book does not denigrate the legend of Santa Claus but does stress the importance of placing God's gift of His Son to all mankind as the true reason to celebrate Christmas. The book also describes God's enduring and profound love for all His children. I was extremely pleased with everything about this book and highly recommend it!

This is a beautiful book. I bought it for our 3 1/2 year old twin boys and they continue to ask for it at bedtime 10 days after Christmas. The illustrations are heart warming, bright and colorful. As a Christian family we love the question "Is God more important than Santa?" The book handles it beautifully. It will remain a Christmas Treasure.

Story is sweet and easy to read. Love the emphasis on Jesus rather than Santa while still acknowledging the good things Santa teaches us -- generosity and kindness. Great bedtime story.

God Gave Us Christmas is a sweet story of a little bear cub that asks his Mommy to help him find Santa. Instead she suggests they look for God. On their journey together Moma bear points out God's light through the northern lights, His power that is able to move glaciers, the morning star, a surprise flower that bloomed unexpected. With each discovery Moma bear points her cub to the real reason for celebration: the birth of Jesus. God Gave Us Christmas is clever and delicate at explaining that Jesus is more important and exciting than Santa. This is accomplished without denying Santa's existance, but recognizing him as a reminder to be generous and caring to others. The illustrations are also very impressive.
