Sometimes the best stories are born out of necessity, and THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS IS PEACE is proof of
exactly that.
When Linda DeGree was teaching at a Catholic school,
she searched for a Christmas play with enough parts
for all 35 of her 5th and 6th grade students. When
she could not find one she loved, she did what
creative educators do. she wrote one herself.
The result was a magical, meaningful Christmas play
that explains the true meaning of Christmas to an
alien who does not understand why Christians all
over the world celebrate this holiday, told through
the voices of a chorus of children and a band of
angels.
Her students loved it so much that their new teacher
the following year brought them back to perform it
again for their Christmas program.
THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS IS PEACE is perfect for
schools, churches, homeschool groups, and families
who want to celebrate Christmas with a story that
goes straight to the heart of what the season is
truly about.
"Peace is the spirit of Christmas," says author
Linda DeGree. "And children understand that better
than anyone."
