Every Thanksgiving, the Oddball Ornaments are pulled out of the attic and hung on the tree to enjoy the holiday season with the humans. Last Christmas, the Oddballs learned that “Turkey Day” and “Box Day” weren’t about them but about a special Baby. This Christmas, the Oddball Ornaments can’t wait to learn more about this special holiday. But when a new ornament is hung on the tree, they find themselves left with even more questions than before.

What does a drummer boy have to do with Christmas? In this heartwarming story for children of all ages, the Oddball Ornaments will see how Christmas is all about love and forgiveness and how God can take a broken family and heal hurting hearts.

My Thoughts on Oddball Ornaments: The Story of Forgiveness

The Oddball Ornaments are cute little stories that we hope you find your self reading.  They offer teachable moments and do some teaching of their own.  This is a bit of a series so do know that you can read more than one of them but you don’t have to read them all.  They do follow in an order so you should read book one first.  

If you like cute characters this book has them.  But within the cute characters you also have lessons like what the holidays are really about and who we should be pointing others too. 

The book has small chapters in it and is perfect for middle-grade children to read on their own or with minimal help.  We find them to be fun read-aloud books for the whole family.

I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

More from Terry

This is the second book of the children’s Christmas series: Oddball Ornaments. The whole idea came to me while looking at the ornaments of my tree one year and wondering, “If they could talk to each other, what would they say?” In both books, the ornaments are alive and can hear their humans, but the humans cannot hear the ornaments talk. It was fun to write these characters and to help teach these imaginary friends lessons about Christmas and forgiveness.
