A sense of magic surrounds the wonder and awe of the Christmas celebration.

  • The magic is in the smiling faces, kind deeds, and hushed voices.

The magic of Christmas can also be shared through stories and traditions both old and new.

Stories are an important part of the season.

  • They are told in the memories you share around the dinner table, in songs both traditional and new, and in picture books written for kids and grownups to enjoy. 

  • Some stories are new to your family, while others have been passed on for generations. 

You can share the magical journey with kids young and old with picture books.
