Show THE REASON FOR CHRISTMAS By Neal Hollingshead Once there were two boys wlio were twins. They lived in a city on the main street. One day Billy said to Will, "I am going to get a bike for Christmas. Christ-mas. What are you getting?" Will said, "I think I will get an air rifle." Just then their mother walked into the' room and said, "Well, don't you think you should think of something besides present?" "Yes," said Billy, "we forgot about the Christ Child. Will you tell us about him, Mother? Yes, I will, said Mother. I will tell you about when he was born. He was born in a manger because be-cause all of the houses were full. Mary was his mother and Joseph was his father. The Christ child's name was Jesus. The Angels in heaven told the wise men to follow the bright star and it would lead them to Jesus. Then other Angels told the shepherds. They brought lambs as presents for Jesus and the wise men brought other things. Jesus and his parents were very happy to have so many visitors and gifts. That is why we have Christmas. Christ-mas. "Oh", said the twins, that is the lovliest Christmas story of all. |
