Bethlehem did have rooms to rent, but, Oh dear, not nearly enough when Joseph and his wife, Mary, traveled there. Whatever shall they do?

Shepherds had a fairly good idea of what to expect from an ordinary night sky, but, Oh dear! Not that particular night sky. Children know what Christmas brings, but do they?

There was a beginning of Christmas, so very, very long ago, and there is a celebration of Christmas even today. _A Special Da_y delivers the very old story with fresh, engaging vigor. In these pages meet a dear but frantic Joseph, delightful but fumbling shepherds, bad news and good news, and an invitation for children to share a special day.
