Christmas Carols,

Merry Christmas!

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, a young lady called Mary
was visited by a special
Angel. The Angel told her that God wanted her to have a very
special baby and that he
wanted her to call the baby Jesus.
Soon after, Mary got married to a man called Joseph. When Mary
was due to have her
baby very soon, they had to make a very long journey to a town
called Bethlehem to pay
their taxes.

When they arrived in Bethlehem it was so full with people who also
had to pay their taxes
that Mary and Joseph couldnt find anywhere to stay as all the inns
were full. Poor Mary
was very tired from her journey. Finally Joseph found a very kind innkeeper who told Joseph that they could stay in his
stable. Mary and Joseph settled into the stable with all the animals
just in time for Mary to
have her baby. They wrapped baby Jesus up snugly with strips of
cloth and put him into a
manger with some nice warm clean straw.

At that time there were some shepherds up on the hills outside

Bethlehem, and they
noticed a very bright light up in the sky. They were scared to start
with as they didnt know
what it was, but then an Angel appeared and told them not to be
frightened. The Angel
told them that they should be very happy as a very special new

baby had been born, who

was the son of God. The shepherds decided to go to Bethlehem to
see the new baby, and
they took him gifts to celebrate his birth. When they saw baby Jesus
they were filled with
joy and they worshipped him and they told Mary and Joseph all
about what the Angel had
said.

Far away in the East, three wise men who studied the stars noticed a
bright new light in the
sky. They knew that when a new star appeared it meant that a great
new ruler had been
born and they wanted to meet him. The wise men decided to follow
the star to see who they would find, and set out on their journey.

The bright new star led them to the stable in Bethlehem where they
found the baby Jesus.
They knelt down beside the manger and worshipped baby Jesus and
gave him precious
gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Mary and Joseph loved their new son and knew that they must
always keep their precious
baby safe from harm as he was the son of God.

SILENT NIGHT
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night,

Shepherds quake at the sight.

Glories stream from heaven afar,

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia;
Christ the Saviour is born.
Christ the Saviour is born.

Silent night, holy night,

Son of God, love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace.
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
