This imaginative picture story contains the message of the first Christmas - the birth of Jesus - and the spirit of Christianity - that we serve Jesus best by caring for others. "Christmas" in the story is the name of a little dog that goes missing. The title refers both to the search for the dog by his owner and the children in the story, and to the search for the real meaning of Christmas.
