Start a Tradition. Leave a Legacy. Late one Christmas Eve a grandmother knowing it may be her last, sat wrapped by the warmth of the fire within the faint glow of the Christmas tree. It was then she asked God to provide a gift, a legacy of His grace to her -Something she could gift her family that would stand the test of time. Then the answer came. There, graced among its branches wonder unfolds as the ornaments, garland and the pinnacle crowning glory all share secrets of life and love to transcend loss and fear. The following Christmas, Rose Martin makes an amazing discovery in her parent's attic. What then is its meaning? What story does it tell? Perhaps it takes a grandmother's heart to reveal how the Christmas Tree stands to tell the greatest story of all - The Testimony of the Tree. "For a life devoted to things is a dead-life, a stump; but a God shaped life is a flourishing tree." Prov. 11:28 This is our testimony, this- is the testimony of the tree."

A little boy who hand makes a present for his grandmother for Christmas first feels upset when he sees his cousins presenting expensive, store-bought gifts, but soon realizes the true meaning of Christmas.

The best thing about Christmas for a young boy is getting to have an old-fashioned holiday with his grandmother.
