Noel

NOEL, a little golden book is one of the best gifts a person can have or give to one that loves the true meaning of Chirstmas.

This book is so good that some kid stole it from my classroom bookcase. I think the fact that I have a touching story about a "real" ornament found (and picked up) in a dirty old snow bank made the kids connect even more with this warming story. I always tell them that the little red ball close to the top of my tree is my "adopted Noel". Rejected or forgotten, in a tree thrown on the street on a January morning, I found that the red ornament stood out with its brightness. Anyone who loves the story will understand.

Several years ago we saw the video of Noel on TV and have since then bought the book and a coloring book. Each year we search the stores in vain, looking for the video. If anyone knows how we could obtain it, we would be very grateful. My daughter even wrote a story in school last year about what happened to Noel afterward. It was preciuos.
