A Simple Christmas on the Farm by Phyllis Alsdurf is a warm-hearted celebration of what really matters at Christmastime: family, friendship, and generosity of spirit. When a little girl finds out her family is planning a 'simple' Christmas this year, she's not so sure about it. But soon she gets into the spirit of simplicity and generosity by making presents and Christmas decorations with her parents and grandparents on their family farm. She and her mama share Christmas cookies with friends they meet, inviting everyone to join them for Christmas in their little red barn. Includes step-by-step directions for creating three handmade Christmas gifts at the end of the book.
