As Christmas comes each year, we look forward to the gifts and decorations. But perhaps we should take a moment to consider where Christmas began and what it truly means to be with family and friends, celebrate firsts, embrace old customs, and start new traditions.
Acclaimed illustrator Lauren Castillo brings us first Christmases, both ancient and modern, and reveals how little has truly changed.

Christmas Is Here
Reviewed by Betsy Farquhar
The only text in this sweetly illustrated picture book comes from the KJV version of Luke 2, a familiar text even to many children. Wordless pictures show a young family (dad, mom, boy, babe-in-arms, dog) walking towards a live nativity scene one snowy night. As they near the scene, the words from Luke 2 transport them (and the reader) back (mentally) 2000 years to the night the shepherds heard that most wonderful of proclamations: For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
