You will find him wrapped in a blanket lying on hay in a manger. Follow me and I will show you where to go." So I followed the angel and there was Mary, Joseph and the Savior Christ the Lord in the manger. I finally reached him after my long journey. My heart felt wonderful at the sight. Emma Power - Donkey I am a donkey. I carry people on my back. I carried Jesus when He was a little baby and I carried Mary all the way to Bethlehem. When we got there, Mary's baby was born. She named her baby Jesus like the angel told her to. The baby was beautiful. I was in the stable when it happened. Cole Patton C a m e r o n Winterbottom Shepherd It all started when an angel came to tell me to follow the star. A shiny star. You will find a baby boy named Jesus. I will bring all of my sheep, white and two black sheep, and even my bad sheep. "Let's go sheep. We have a long journey ahead of us." On the way I saw the drummer boy. I told him to come with me. He asked "Why?" "I will tell you on the way." So I told him why. I said, "Because Mary is having a baby boy named Jesus." "Who told you that?" asked the drummer boy. "Angel Gabriel," I replied. At the manger the child was lying in the hay. At the manger there were sheep. Mary and Joseph, the three kings, shepherds and donkeys. We were all happy. Anthony Sestanovic Josh Dacosta - Sheep One day I went somewhere and I was with my shepherd in the fields. I was looking for some food and then my shepherd came to me. He took me for a walk to Bethlehem but I never knew where he was taking me. I met a baby called Jesus and I had to warm up Jesus because I am very warm. Then a couple of years passed by. Jesus was grown up and He helped everyone Nick Novak - Shepherd Every day I guide my sheep to the valley where all the sheep sleep. So I sleep there to protect them. In the valley it's really chilly and dark. The air smells oh so crispy. The moon and the stars are so bright. But one star was the brightest. "Let's follow it and see where it leads to," said the shepherd. "Come on my beautiful pets. It's a star right over this old manger. Mary, what's going on? Why is there a baby born in a manger?" "Because I don't have any money," replied Mary. "Well, what's the baby's name?" I asked. "The baby's name is Jesus." "He's so cute," I said. "Thank you," said Mary. "He has cute chubby squishy cheeks and thighs. And he has a straw diaper," I said. "Look at that, he's playing with the animals." "Bye Mary," I said. "Bye," said Mary.

Mary was very excited to hear about her giving birth. That night, Joseph had a dream. And in his dream he heard me talking to him. Joseph was very excited to have a baby named Jesus. I was excited to see Jesus right in front of my eyes. He had short brown hair, tiny fingers and toes. He had a nice cloth wrapped around Him and sky blue eyes. He is God's child. My adventure was huge so I went back home to God. And I went right to bed. Good night.
