"I have a surprise for you!" announced Granny Mae. "We're going to put on a Christmas play!” …It was Christmas Eve. And like we'd done forever, the whole family had come to Granny Mae's house. Despite mild protests, (“What about dinner?” “When will we get to the gifts?”), Granny Mae hands everybody a bag—with parts, costumes, and speaking lines inside. Then the clan gathers in Granny Mae's kitchen and the fun begins.

Narrated by young Kevin (alias “the Angel Gabriel”), wearing Grampa's white dress shirt—18” neck, 35” long—and a tinsel halo, this delightful story moves all over Granny Mae's house, as her family enacts a unique Nativity pageant and discovers—along with the reader—some wonderful things about Christmas and about families!

In a special note to readers, Hartman offers easy ways to adapt Granny Mae's Christmas Play to their own holiday celebrations—a yearly Nativity Pageant right in their own homes.
