Why We Celebrate
Christmas
We celebrate Chrdstnias because Christ
died for us.. Usually my family and my
relatives get together and celebrate. We
usually start at 9;30 and my'brother reads
the story of Jesus Christ being born. After
that the kids sometimes put:. on a skit,
play .the piano or something entertaining.
Then my dad hands out the presents.
When that is finished we all sit .downto
the lovely dinner that my mom has
prepared.

Christmas
Christmas is the time of year, when
Jesus was born to Mary. He was born in
a manger in the stall. The shepherds saw
a very bright light and an angel spoke to
them, saying, "Fear not for behold I bring
good news of great joy that will be to all
people. Unto you born this day in the city
of David is Christ the Lord." The king
said, "The wisemen must go to the child
and bring word back to him." So the
wisemen came to the stall and gave Jesus
gold, frankincense and myrrh. That's why
we celebrate Christmas!

the king that Jesus was born. The king
wanted to kill Jesus. Then Angels came
in the sky and they sang.
