He opened it and found a glass angel. Santa did not get why he got a glass angel. So he asked Why did I get a glass angel? Because it is an angel, to help lead your way Mrs. Claus replied. So Santa went to put it in his room. When Santa got to his room an elf popped out of the closet. Hi Santa! the elf screamed. Nice angel you have. Yes, I know, but how did you know what it was? Santa whispered. The elf screamed I made that one, that s how I knew! Tell me why it s special please Santa said. Ok . The elf said. There were two people named Mary and Joseph. May got told by the angel Gabriel that she was going to have a special baby by the Holy Spirit.

A few men that studied the stars came from the East looking for Jesus. They were asking around wondering where was the baby born to be King. A great star showed the right directions and angels surrounded where Jesus was. These men, the three wise men found Jesus and brought him special gifts, gold frankincense and myrrh. They worshipped him and were happy to meet the King. There were also angels that told people about the birth of Christ. Angels lead the people to Jesus including the shepherds and wise men. After the story was finished, Santa said Ok now I get it. Like Jesus it s to help lead my way . Behind the door Mrs. Claus peeked out and said Good work elf you really know the story of Jesus. Thanks Mrs. Claus and Merry Christmas to you and Santa. the elf responded. Merry Christmas to you too Mrs. Claus commented. -,- • Happy 1f k! T a, .k. yaw for yaw,- patrravtct e.
