"The Fourniers' home-tested activities will help Catholic families 'take back' Christmas one charming tradition at a time. Just a few ideas chosed from a hearty variety of offerings - some new, some familiar, some long-forgotten - can replace the harried distractions of the secular season with the depp joy God intends. We will happily use this book in our own domestic church". Ellen Rossini, Author of 100 Activities Based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
