Countdown to Christmas By Amy Puetz



A Note From Amy Puetz


Create new memories that your family will cherish for years!

Do you long to make this holiday season the best ever? Do you wish to escape from the commercialism that hounds us from every corner? Do you wish to slow down this Christmas and enjoy the holiday as they did in the good old days?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then I have a wonderful e-book that will brighten your Christmas. Countdown to Christmas has family friendly stories and activities for every day from December 1st to the 25th. Imagine your family gathering each day to read a Christmas story and then participating in a fun activity. This can become a reality when you purchase Countdown to Christmas. The book is broken up into daily sections. Each day has a story and an activity that should take about 30 to 45 minutes to go through.

Full of Fun!

Nearly all the stories in this book were written in the 1800’s and early 1900’s so some of the language may seem a little old. I have modernized some of the spelling but I left most of the stories intact because the Victorian people had such a beautiful way of using words. It is always good to stretch our own vocabulary. Many of these stories have not been reprinted since their first publication and I’m so excited to share these with a whole new generation. Most of the stories could be used to help teach children important lessons. At the end of each story you could think of a few questions to ask your children, or maybe even have the children ask you questions!

The activities include:
  • Games
  • Crafts
  • Cooking
  • Riddles
  • Quizzes
  • Singing Carols
  • Etc.
I’ve tried to include activities that will appeal to a variety of different age groups. Obviously not every activity will be fun for each child. On several days I give two or more options; you can pick the one that will be enjoyed the most. For younger children there are several coloring pages in the bonus book. These might be good for the children to do while you are reading the story.

Countdown to Christmas will appeal to a large age group but children from 6-14 will probably enjoy it the most. To read a sample from the book click here!

It is my sincere wish that this book will be used to create wonderful memories for you and your family. In our society there are so many things that vie for our attention that we often don’t spend time with those we love most. A hundred years ago things were very different. Families would spend time in the evenings talking, reading, singing, and just fellowshipping. With the creation of the radio things changed, and when television became a staple in every home the interaction between family members decreased even more. Now with computers, movies, and a myriad of other gadgets, families spend very little time building relationships. This book has a mission to help families grow closer together.

Make this Christmas truly memorable with Countdown to Christmas!
