Christmas Blessing

A joyful retelling of the first Christmas through the perspective of the animals who offered their own special gifts to Jesus on the night He was born.

The Christmas Blessing is taken from a centuries-old folk song now brightly and thoughtfully illustrated. This traditional Christmas story is perfect to read to small children during the holidays to teach about the Nativity. Learn about the heart-felt gifts donkey, cow, camel, and other animals around the manger gave to baby Jesus, sharing their kindness, love, and joy!

This sweetly illustrated story is perfect for those looking to teach little ones about the Nativity with thoughtful rhymes.

Born and raised in Sheffield, England, James Newman Gray studied illustration at Wolverhampton University after a childhood spent sketching and painting. He went on to have a long career as an in-house illustrator for several greeting card publishers, including Hallmark cards, working on branded characters and also on original illustration. Over the years, this taught him to develop many different styles and to work in many different media. Although a large part of James’ illustrations are done digitally now, he still likes to do line-art in his sketchpad and get the paints out and make marks.

Special Orders 

To allow our store to offer the most options as possible we partner with some of our key vendors to allow for Special Orders. Special Orders consist of merchandise that we do not stock or is currently back ordered with the vendor and Special Orders either ship directly from the vendor or they're shipped to us upon purchase and we ship directly to the customer. 

Any items purchased from specific brands (listed below) OR have a special order variant are considered FINAL SALE and cannot be cancelled or exchanged for any reason per vendor policies.

Because of this process, ALL special orders take additional time to ship. If your order contains BOTH in-stock and special order variants your order will ship complete unless additional shipping is paid to split the order and ship separately.

Special Order Vendors

Annie Selke, Dash & Albert, Pine Cone Hill, Julie Vos, Juliska, Oh My Mahjong, VIETRI, Bodrum, Mackenzie Childs, Casafina, Costa Nova, Mottahedeh, Estelle Colored Glass, John Robshaw, Banwood, and Simon Pearce. 

How do I tell if it's a special order?

Most of the brands above will have 2-3 variant options. Single means IN-STOCK at our store and ready to ship. Anything sold in sets or via Special Order variant means it will need to be ordered from the vendor.
