I believe traditions tell the stories our hearts never forget.  I am Erica Bruton, "The Nail of Noel" is my way of keeping the true meaning of Christmas- Christ's love- shining gently in homes year after year.

about the author

 a look behind the scenes

The Nail of Noel
 Nook

Welcome to the Nook where wonder, warmth, and Jesus' love shine brightest.

Special Edition

"A soft sacred keepsake, carrying the wonder of Christ into your home."

The Christmas Journey with Noel

Begin by reading the book and poem,
then hang the nail on the tree.  Throughout December, read one verse from Luke 2 each day, moving the nail as you move through the story. On Christmas Eve you will reach the manger, and on Christmas Day you will read of his death and resurrection- the miracle that completes the story.

What You Can Expect

"The Nail of Noel"

A tender tale that gently leads hearts back to the manger and the miracle of Jesus.

A Story Illuminated by Christ

A yearly tradition that draws loved ones near and rekindles the sacred awe of Christmas.

A Tradition Wrapped in Wonder

A Whisper of Hope

Pages that breathe peace and remind us that even the smallest acts that shine with His light.

Our Favorite Love Notes

Lora Delhorn
Reader and Fellow Writer

"What I love most about this book is how accessible the tradition is.  It doesn't require elaborate setups, and it never asks parents to be perfect.  You don't even have to read it every single day for it to matter.  If you miss a night-or a few- the magic isn't lost.  The tradition is about presence, not performance.  In many ways, it reminds me of Montessori-style Christmas Practice: simple, flexible and focused on connection rather than keeping up."
