The First Straw: A Christmas Story - Paperback

by Stacy N. Whittemore (Author)

There is an old tradition of building a soft bed for Baby Jesus one straw at a time in a miniature manger during the days leading up to Christmas. Each time someone secretly does something nice for someone, they add a single straw to the manger. By Christmas Eve, the manger is full for the birth of Christ.

But who filled the first manger for the birth of Jesus? Samuel, an innkeeper
