MoreA long time ago in a distant land there lived a man named Kris Kringle and his friends, the elves. While visiting a nearby town one day, they realized the people living there were very unhappy because the weather was so bad, it forced them to stay inside their homes. Then Kris came up with the idea of making toys with which the children could play indoors on days when it was too cold to go outside. The elves enthusiastically agreed.
And so begins Anthony J. Bosco's creative tale, "The Beginning of Christmas." Using simple language, Bosco explains to young children how the yuletide tradition of Christmas may have begun. Throughout this imaginative story, he stresses the importance of behaving with a caring, giving nature throughout the year, because once Kris and the elves realized the success of their endeavors, they began making a list in order to remember who was naughty and who was nice.
Bosco reveals that the tradition continues to this day because God granted Kris Kringle and the elves eternal life as a reward for their good deeds. He also touches on the religious atmosphere which surrounds the Christmas holiday, explaining how God had seen Kris's good works and decided to present one special present to the people of the world - His only son.
With illustrations to help children understand his messages, Bosco's "The Beginning of Christmas" is an ideal tale for the young and the young at heart to share as the season draws near.
