Tully's Christmas Mess

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.
