Product Description

The national bestseller from the Pulitzer Prizewinning authorone of the warmest and most delightful Christmas stories ever.

With fond nostalgia, Dave Barry takes readers back to a simpler time: The year is 1960, and young Doug Barnes is playing a shepherd in the Christmas pageant at St. Johns Episcopal Churchwhich is a very big deal. But there are problems everywhere. His fellow shepherds are misbehaving, which makes their director, Mrs. Elkins, yell at all of them; the girl he likes is playing Mary opposite a Joseph who is depressingly smart, athletic, and cute; the family dog is doing very poorly, and they have no idea what theyre going to tell Dougs little sister, Becky, whos playing one of the Host of Angels and who loves the dog more than anything; and his dads just gotten a flat tire, which means they might not even get to the pageant after all.

But Christmas is a time of miracles. And for Doug and his family, this will be the most miraculous Christmas of all.
