Tis the season! For many of us, that means in the days leading up to Christmas we are busy preparing for the one big day. It's the season for programs, parties, favorite foods, and special holiday traditions. We deck the halls, shop for gifts, and often wear ourselves out preparing to gather with friends and family.

If we're not mindful, we can become so busy giving and receiving we temporarily lose site of the fact that the true Yuletide treasure isn't found in any of those things.

Join these 41 authors as they share their stories of Christmas, and why the reason for the season, the real reason for celebrating, is Jesus.
