Of all the holidays, Michael Alan Snow, age 10, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, liked Christmas the best. Bill, Harry and Sally exchanged presents with Michael and told Christmas stories about the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.

The star on top of the Christmas tree reminded Michael of the one that guided the three Wise Men to the Christ Child. Gazing at the manger scene near the Christmas tree, Michael thought about following the star with the three Wise Men. Suddenly, a voice called his name.

"Michael, come with us and follow the star!" said one of the Wise Men. "You may ride with our caravan on this little donkey."Michael quickly dressed in traveling clothes and joined the caravan. The bright star shone a silver path in the night.

.........................................

The Wise Man whispered, "Farewell, child. We have brought you home to Eau Claire, Wisconsin." Michael could see that the manger scene near the Christmas tree had changed. The three Wise Men had presented their costly gifts, and the little donkey stood nearby. But Baby Jesus was no longer just lying in the manger. Now, Michael held Jesus close to his heart.
