Description
THE MAGIC CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT COLLECTION is much more than a book. The collection includes an heirloom quality casebound hardback, a ornament just like the one in the story, and a beautiful decorative package, suitable for making the gift of Christmas a lasting memory. A portion of all profits from this book will be given to the Marine Corps’ “Toys for Tots” program.
Christmas Eve is a dazzling, special time... especially when your family's favorite Christmas tree ornament has magic powers! On one enchanted Christmas Eve, Victoria, Joseph, and John gather around the fireplace to hear their father’s story about this favorite Christmas ornament. After their parents go to bed, the children discover the true magic of the ornament as it sweeps them from their home and directly into Santa’s workshop! On this adventure, they are instantly surrounded by toys, reindeer, and even see Santa himself. Amidst the magic and wonder of this night, the children meet a very special elf named JJ who, as it turns out, is more connected to their family’s history than they could ever have imagined…
Accompanying THE MAGIC CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT is the same beloved ornament from the book (for ages 5 and up) to fill your home with the magic of Christmas. This modern Christmas spellbinder will inspire new traditions and help you escape into a world of holiday magic!
Jim's father, Sylvester (Ziggy) Barbato, was one of nine children from an Italian immigrant family. Ziggy often told Jim that his family was too poor to afford toys for their children, but he always vowed that his children would experience the spirit of Christmas. THE MAGIC CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT is an original story created by Jim and Victoria Barbato. Writing this story allows our family to share the magic of Christmas—and all of its excitement—with yours. It’s ideal for reading aloud to children of all ages.

I found this available to read on NetGalley and got an ebook of The Magic Christmas Ornament by James and Victoria Barbato.
The illustrations by Joe Huffman in this book are utterly breath taking and it actually feels like you are in the book with these children on their magic night.
The story follows three children on Christmas Eve after their father shares his story of one magic Christmas when he found a special ornament. The children magically go to Santa’s work shop and learn of Christmas magic.
I love anything cute and Christmassy and this certainly made you feel magical, it’s such a pure story of Christmas spirit and belief in children and how one thing can help you hold the Christmas magic in your hearts forever.
This will no doubt be a family favourite for many as it’s so beautiful and magical. (Plus when purchasing this book you are helping a great cause as some of the funds go towards the Marine Corps ‘Toys for Tots’. Which i think is such a wonderful thing to do.)

A portion of this books sales goes to toys for tots. A lovely Christmas story with three children listening to their father tell the story of a family ornament. When JJ an elf comes in and the children go an an adventure.. also comes with an ornament

Three siblings (and their pet Westie!) are whisked away one cold December night, via magic ornament to Santa's workshop. And it's the night before Christmas, no less!...
This is a fun, quick bedtime storybook with big, colorful pictures. My favorite element is that the children's dog gets to go and do everything too! I'm left wanting more to this story though; I actually wish the adventure could have continued a little longer once they arrived at the North Pole. Still, it is a cute new book for this holiday season!
