• Christmas Read-Aloud

  If you’re looking for a family read-aloud for Christmas and are a little tired of the obvious choices–A Christmas Carol, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, The Polar Express, good choices all–I commend to you Chesterton’s short story “The Flying Stars.”

  Like Dickens’s story, it’s a story of redemption and second chances.  And it is suffused with the glow of the holidays, as well as the glow of Christian forgiveness, even if Jesus makes no appearance.
