The true story of the first Christmas..
CHRISTMAS
TRADITIONS
Christmastime is coming
As we all know.
But this how it happened
Long long time ago.
Bethlehem is where
The Lord the king all,
Was bornin a manger
' Inside the cattle stall.
The shepherds on the
hillside
Saw angels as they sang
Glory to the Father
Loudly voices rang.
The shepherds went at
once
Below the shining star
They came and see Mary
In Bethlem afar.
The shepherds they did
see him
In the manger, full of
hay,
Then Mary and her
husband
Asked if they would come
and stay.
The shepherds they did
want to stay
Although they had to go
To tend their flocks upon
the hill
So sadly they said no.
Way off in the palace
Where king Herod lived
He heard about the king
And his anger become
vivid.
That night I dreamed
about long ago
When Mary and Joseph
went all around
Try to find a place to
settle down
Finally Josep1 found a
stable
for Mary to` rest and to
make a cradle.
A Star shown bright
where the baby lay
A angel came down and
told it this way
Fear not said the angel
for I have good news the
Saviour is born
And the angels of heaven
have blown horns
The shepherds brought
sheep and lambs
Greeting the baby in
Bethlehem.
Thats what Christmas is
all about
To think of the saviour
and help other people out.

CHRISTMAS PLANE,,
During my Christmas
holidays, I am going to
stay home with° my
family. We put all" our
presents under the tree.
In the morning, my sister
always gets up first to see
if she can open her
presents. I think we're
having friends over for
supper. After supper I am
• going to play with the
toys I got. I hope we have
a happy and merry
Christmas. I hope you do
too.

"Who is the king of all ,
world
That they call the Lord?
I'm the king of all this
land
I want his head on my
sword.
I'll send you three away
To see "this" king of all.
Here are some gifts to
give him,
Where is he, in a stall?
We the trio did ride away,
Across the desert hot,
To see the king that
Herod wants
Heading to Bethlehem to
fulfill our plot.
We finally did arrive
there
In the small, small town,
We finally found the
Lord, the king
Beside the cradle we
settled down.
With their gifts they gave
to Mary,
Of gold, frankincense and
myrrh
Everyone was
celebrating
Lord Jesus Christs birth.
But in this day and age
We hear the story of the
birth
All the shepherds with
gifts
The kings with gold,
frankincense and myrrh.

WHAT CHRISTMAS
REALLY IS
The night before
Christmas is the very
best night
The children are
snuggled up nice and
tight
The cosy fire at the end of
the bed
Makes you lay down your
sleepy head.
Tommy walked down
the street. He was
thinking to himself, I'm
not going to give my
sister anything because I
probably just get a card
back.
Then all of a sudden,
there was a machine. He
jumped in and pressed a
button he knew it was a
time machine.
Suddenly it stopped.
He got out and went to
the city. It said on a plack
Bethlahem. He sat down
and watched what would
happen. The boy saw
Joseph, looking for a place
to stay.
The hotal keeper said
"You can stay at my
house but they couldn't
hear him.
The keeper said, "You
can stay in the stable".
Tommy saw the baby
Jesus. He saw the three
wise men give their gifts
even though they didn't
have much
It was time to go home
so he jumped in the time.
machine and left.
When he got home he
gave his sister a present.
His sister gave him a
card. He said that is the
best gift you could give
me.
They sat in the chair
and read a Bible story.

THE CHRISTMAS
WITHOUT SANTA
One comet night on
Decembre 23, the night
before Christmas Eve.
The Star Ship Enter-
prise was zooming
through the universe
when suddenly Santa
Claus had landed on their
ship. So Capt. Kirk and
Mr. Spock went to greet
him.
When Santa got out of
the space taxi Mr. Spock
asked Santa what he was
doing here.
Santa said, "I need
someone to deliver my
presents because my
reindeer are sick."
Then kirk said, "so you
want us to deliver your
toysright.
"Right Mr. kirk."
Then Capt. Kirk and
Mr. Spock said "all
right".
So on Christmas Eve
the Star Ship Enterprise
delivered all the toys to
all the planets in the
universe.
