Tully's Christmas Mess

Tully’s Christmas Mess tells the story of an adventurous Christmas in the Miller house, reminding them of the true reason why we celebrate. 

Tully wants to be a part of all the Christmas festivities along with his human family, but they are always telling him, “No Tully. Sit down. You will make a mess.” When his leash gets tangled around the Christmas tree, the whole tree falls down, creating a big mess! Tully is afraid his family will be mad that he ruined Christmas, but instead they are reminded of the very first Christmas when Jesus came to Earth to clean up our messes.

This Christmas turn to Jesus who came into our messy world, took up our burdens, carried our sorrows, and died so we might live. Now he lives to intercede for all, right in the middle of our messy lives. It is a good and true story to share with your family on Christmas and every day throughout the year.

I love this heartwarming little book and every Christmas I will enjoy sharing it with the children in my life! – Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability Center
