Why do we recieve presents in Christmas?

Text and images by Filipe and Tiago, four years old

The story I am about to tell you is true…

A long, long time ago, in a distant country

On a cold night, shepherds were guarding their sheeps.

When they saw an angle that said:

Go quickly to Bethlehem because in a cave is born Jesus.

And the angels begin to sing…

Gloria in excelsis Deo. And peace to good men…

And the shepherds came to worship baby Jesus…

And in the cave they found…

Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus…

The donkey and the cow…

What a beautiful baby! - they said…

We bring Him a present, these two little sheeps…

The three wise kings also came and bring presents…

That is why, in Christmas we change presents between us…

Happy Christmas to you all!

This is the story of Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. Hope you enjoy it…
