The Fust CieWsas
Joseph and Mary went to
Bethlehem on a donkey.
When they got there, there
were no rooms for been. So
they had to go to a barn.
Mary was goingto have a
baby. At midnight she had
her baby. They called it
Jesus,
The Wisemen and the
shepherds saw the star in the.
sky shining from the East. So
they brought presents for
baby Jesus.
That's why we have
Christmas on December 25 to
celebrate Jesus' birthday.

What Andstmas Means
To Me
� Christmas means not Inst
to receive gifts but to give to
people that need your love
and care.
Christmas is when you get
to8ether and have fun.
Christmas is when Jesus
Christ was born in Bethle-
hem.. So be thankful for what
you got on Christmas.

The First Onfaimas
Mary sighed_ Joseph could
not get a roomin the inn.
Well...' thought Mary, at
least the stable would give us
shelter.
So Joseph • and. Mary went.
into the \ stable and there
Mary had her. baby, Jesus
And all the animals in the
stable carte to see the baby.
• They weren't the only ones
that came to see trim though.
For wisemen who ' had
followed a brilliant star came
to the stable and saw Jesus,
and they knew it was Christ
so thy gave him gold, myrrh
and frankincence.
That same night the shep-
herds saw an angel and it
said to them... "Do not be
afraid for: I will tell you great
• nem... Jesus Christ the Lord
has been born." •
And the shepherds went to

see him and there was great
rejoicing. At Christmas now,
people give presents and
receive them.; But it isn't just
gig presents but giving
them, just like • Jesus who
gave so much to us.. \

What's Christmas?
One night' I heard a
whirring noise..I got out of
bed and looked mit. Guess
what I saw? It was. a UFO
landing -in the backyard.
It landed and two strange
thingsgot out. I decided not
to wake up anybody, so I got
my slippers and snuck out of
the house.
When I got out and round-
ed
ounded the corner I heard these
words. `Remember the
governor . said to find ' . 'out
what Christmas is."
"I remember," said the ,
second creature. While they\
were talking they came clos-
er to myhiding' spot. Then
they spotted me.
:Who are you?" . they
asked.
."I live here. Who are
you?"
"We come from Venus.
We have come for Christ-
mas.
hristmas.What is it?" they asked
me..t
"Wait and see, it is
Christmas Eve tomorrow
night," _t replied.
The nett day I showed
'them some Christmas orna-
ments.
"What's this, and this?"
they asked over and over.
"What's a stocking?", they
wondered:
"Well on Christmas Eve
Santa comes and fills it with
goodies and toys under the
"Great blue salamand-
ers," one exclaimed. 'Then
they oohed and aahed over
toys.
That night I introduced
them to Mom, Dad and my
pesky sister.
After supper Mom got out
some stockings and hung
them for our visitors. Then
we went to bed.
The nest morning I got up
and woke our visitors. We
went downstairs and saw
that Santa had been there.
We had , dinner and played
with our toys.
When it came time for our
visitors to go, they said
"We'll be back again nextyear and thanks for every-
thing." They climbed in and
took off.
1 .was sorry they ' had' to
leave, but in other ways 1 was.
glad. '

How Cbdaanaa Beg
One day in Nazareth God
spoke to Mary. God told
Mary she 'was going to have a
baby boy and his name would
be Jesus.
That year ' there was a
census being taken. ' Mary
and Joseph had to travel to
Bethlehem.
It was getting to be ' the
time for Mary to have her
baby.
When they .got to Bethle-
hem there was just no room
for them. The innkeeper
offered the stable. Maty and
Joseph toot,te offer.
That very night Baby
Jesus was born.
The cow gave her manger
up for the baby. Shepherds
and Wise Men Same. Baby.
Jesus was' given many gifts.
God put a large star in the
:sky to guide the Shepherds
and Wise Men to the stable.
And that's how Christmas
began.
