Jesus' Christmas Party



This is one of my favourite re-tellings of the Christmas Story, probably because I sympathise with the sleep-deprived crabby innkeeper.  Late one night, Mary and Joseph arrive at the inn, which as we all know, is full up - but there is the stable round the back.  The innkeeper's sleep is disturbed by shepherds, a bright light, and lots of noisy singing.  Absolutely furious, the innkeeper himself storms round the back to see what is going on......

The pictures are funny, the text lively and it reads aloud very well indeed.  It apparently makes a good nativity play for nursery or P1 too, or so I am told!
