read

Our angel and elf were busy reading this morning when we found them and to my surprise they were reading, "Christmas in the Manger", which is a very simple, but great book for kiddos to read that tells of some important people that were there when JESUS was born!

So what did our message from the angel say, "READ", so what did we do?  We read the book that our friends were reading and talked about each character and which one was the kids favorite!

Characters included: star, donkey, ram, ox, sheperds, wise men, Mary, and the baby (JESUS), so which one is your favorite?  Stay tuned to our favorites- I bet you can guess, but I'm still gonna leave you hanging! :)

Lesson:  What do each of these characters have to do with Christmas and how do their roles play an important part in HIS birth?  Example from the book, "I am the baby asleep in the hay, and I am the reason for Christmas Day."  Discuss this among your kids... 

ps- the book is from Leap Frog!
