Christmas in the Manger

John Hall was "reading" this book under the tree where I have all of his Christmas books.  It was so sweet so I ran and grabbed the nearest piece of technology to film him.  In case you can't understand what he is saying, here are the words to "Christmas in the Manger."

I am the star

that shines in the east,

I light the stable

for man and beast.

I am the donkey,

soft and gray,

I carried his mother

from far away.

I am the ram,

with my curly horn

I guard the stall

where the child is born.

I am the ox,

strong as steel,

before the only son

I kneel.

We are the shepherds

who watch the sheep,

tonight a holy watch

we keep.

We are the wise men,

gifts we bring

for baby Jesus,

our newborn king.

I am Mary,

the mother mild,

how I love

my tiny child.

I am the baby

asleep in the hay,

and I am the reason

for Christmas Day.
