“Hi, we’re Emily and Jacob! We were created by Ann M. Macey so that everyone would know how our traditional Christmas decorations are reminders of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Besides our Christmas story, we hope that you will also enjoy our Easter story and our Valentine's Day story."
A note from the author:

Dear Parents, Grandparents, and Guardians: It is my hope that these stories will act as a useful tool for you as you lead your young family members to The Lord. It is my belief that The Lord’s purpose was not for me to instruct your children with these stories, but to arouse positive thoughts and questions from your young ones so that you may guide them to the truth of His Word. Do not be anxious that the content may be too advanced for the intended age group. The Lord guided this message and He will permit them to fully understand in their own time. May you be richly blessed as you share these stories with your loved ones. And, may Our Lord Jesus be glorified each time they are read.

"Grandma, Why Are There Nails Hanging On Your Tree?"
by
Ann M. Macey, Illustrated by Laurie A. Faust, Edited by Nina Mozdzanowski,
Emily and Jacob visit their grandmother during the Christmas season. Grandma's house is decorated with the usual crèche, wreath, and Christmas tree adorned with lights, ornaments, bows, berries, etc. But today, the children are very eager to know why everyone decorates as they do for the Christmas season... and why does Grandma have nails hanging on her Christmas tree?
Grandma gives them insight as to the real meaning of Christmas by using these decorations as learning tools. The children learn that Jesus Christ, and the purpose of His birth, is what should be recognized above all other distractions created by man during this holiday.

"A Valentine for
Jesus"

Ann M. Macey
As Emily and Jacob prepare for Valentine’s Day, Jacob does not want his friend, Joey, to be included as he makes Valentines for all of his classmates. Joey has broken one of Jacob’s favorite toys and Jacob is unwilling to forgive him.
Emily recalls a Sunday School lesson on forgiveness as Grandpa guides the children to understand that Jesus forgives us every time we hurt Him, and He expects us to forgive others in the same manner. Their discussion ends with Jacob seeking The Lord for forgiveness and both of the children giving their hearts to Jesus.
