A Story About The Real True Meaning Of Christmas

I’ve always been a sucker for Christmas stories.

And I’ve always had a big mouth.

During the Christmas season of 1997, these two things intersected to create the story you’re about to read.

While visiting my in-law’s home that year, my mother-in-law read the family several Christmas stories. Most of them were short and fun; some were geared toward children; a few of them were even tear-jerkers.

On one particular night after a particularly edifying story, I surprised myself and the entire family by declaring that I would write a Christmas story of my own to be read at the next year’s Christmas.

When the next October rolled around, I realized I should probably get started on the story. Small problem—I had no ideas. Then I remembered a short poem I had read several years before about Santa Claus lamenting the fact that everyone loved Christmas, but almost nobody knew what any of the symbols of Christmas stood for. Like why green and red are the Christmas colors; why candy canes, bells, bows, and presents are associated with Christmas. Like that.

So I took that idea—explaining the symbols of Christmas—and wrapped it into a story about… wait for it… that’s right… advertising!

You’ll find this story to be funny, charming, heartwarming, educational, and uplifting. It’s a great story to read to your children or grandchildren… or just by yourself. It’s kind of long, so I’ve put it on a PDF you can download and print if you like. I hope you enjoy it.

Merry Christmas!
