We received a fun Christmas package last week from Covenant Books with books, dvds, and even a tiny but beautiful statue of Christ.

Christmas Wonders {Review}
We miss something if we don’t see Christmas through a child’s eyes. (Rosemary M. Wixom) This was the thought that kept running through my mind as I read Christmas Wonders by Robyn Buttars.
