Thanks by OP Well...I finished the book, and each kid had their own copy, so I couldn't skip words. There's a few words that got them into a tailspin, but I noticed a lot of kids didn't know the Christmas Story, and I wondered if their parents would have had a problem with a book that talks about Herod, Jesus, the Angel of the Lord, Wise Men, etc....
