The Shepherd, the Angel and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog

I picked this little book up on sale at B & N, and it is my new favorite Christmas book. It was written by Dave Barry, and is set in 1960 in a town in New York. It is just a funny story about the Christmas pageant at his church when he is around middle school age, but he writes with such a funny style and it is just like middle schoolers think. Plus the characters are sweet and not gross or vulgar, and it has a nice Christmas message. I read parts of this to the 8th graders at my school and they enjoyed it.
