Once upon a time,a man told people of the coming of a boy.
he said that this boy would save his people.
Every year,
parents would tell their children about the boy who would save his people
They were waiting for the boy,but he didn't come.
Finally,years later,the boy's story began.
There was a man named Joseph and his wife named Mary.
It is said that one night an angel came to Mary
and told her she was to have this special boy.
The angel also came to Joseph and told him the same thing.
At that time,everyone had to go back to their own hometown to be counted
Mary and Joseph had to travel before the baby was born.
It was a long journey.
They didn't arrive until very late one night.
They looked for a place to stay,but all the places were full.
They didn't know where to go.
At last,the owner of a house said they could stay in the barn.
That night Mary gave girth to this very special boy.
Soon after the baby was born,
angels appeared to some shepherds in a field near the town.
They said they had something to tell them.
The special boy had been born.
The shepherds went to see the special boy that same night.
They asked Mary and Joseph what to call the boy.
Joseph said the name of the boy was Jesus.
People called him Jesus Christ because Christ means to save.
Years later,people still celebrate Jesus' birthday.
They call it Christmas,which comes from the name christ.
