One of our Advent devotion activities was to have the kids tell us the Christmas story, and write it down every year. Although the story won't change each year, how they tell it will change as they grow up. I need to find a small notebook for this purpose.
Simon's story went like this:
"Baby Jesus was born. 9 weeks. Actually 9 months. Mary was baking and Joseph was working. A shephards saw a group of shining angels. The shephards and wise men went to see Jesus asleep in the manger. Mary had a baby who got born. We were born once. Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem, because there was no room at the inn."
Norah's version:
"A donkey. Mary was riding him. Joseph was holding the donkey. The rabbits, the stable.
Question of "Why?" was asked:
Because baby Jesus needed to sleep.
Question of "Who came to visit baby Jesus?" was asked:
The little cow, Belchior, his cat". (Our Nativity book names the wise men as Caspar, Melchior, and Belthazar.)
I love the part how Mary was baking and Joseph was working!
