A Homeless Christmas Story by Ryan J. Dowd
Christmas Eve at the homeless shelter isn’t all that different from any other night, and this picture book gives you a peek into what that means. An old man arrives at a shelter and as he goes through his evening - keeping his coat on, checking his sack of belongings, getting coffee - we begin to realize that while some of his experiences there are typical, he is about to make the evening memorable for everyone else. ~Sue Daniels~
Red and Green and Blue and White by Lee Wind and Paul O. Zelinsky
In the middle of a neighborhood decorated red and green for Christmas sits one house decorated in blue and white for Chanukah. When a stone is thrown through the blue and white window, Isaac’s family is afraid to relight the menorah until his friend shows support by adding a picture of a menorah to her Christmas display. This is a heartwarming picture book inspired by a true story. ~Sue Daniels~
The Star (DVD)
While a fan of the old classics (Charlie Brown, Rudolph, etc.), I’ve found a new Christmas movie worthy of annual viewing. This modern retelling of the Nativity features an animated multitude of animals cleverly voiced by a diverse cast of familiar celebrities.

Keep your eyes peeled for a small black iron door.
Down the road from a working-class British pub, along the brick wall of a narrow alley, if the conditions are exactly right, you'll find the entrance to Slade House. A stranger will greet you by name and invite you inside. At first, you won't want to leave. Later, you'll find that you can't. Every nine years, the house's residents--an odd brother and sister--extend a unique invitation to someone who's different or lonely: a precocious teenager, a recently divorced policeman, a shy college student. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it's already too late. . . .
Spanning five decades, from the last days of the 1970s to the present, leaping genres, and barreling toward an astonishing conclusion, this intricately woven novel will pull you into a reality-warping new vision of the haunted house story--as only David Mitchell could imagine it.
