The "Great Joy" series focuses on the concept of joy, particularly during the Christmas season when children typically associate happiness with the holiday. However, the series aims to help kids understand that the joy brought by Jesus' birth extends far beyond a single day or season, and it is not contingent upon receiving material gifts or being in ideal circumstances. By celebrating Jesus' birth, children can learn that He offers a lasting and abundant joy throughout the entire year.
