    The First Christmas
    Retold by Eliane Pinheiro
    and Maura Hurley
    Around the month of December,
    children like to imagine
    what happened
    on the very first Christmas ever,
    even before
    Santa Claus.
    I know the story well,
    for I was watching it all
    from above --
    in the dark sky
    on the evening
    of December 24th,
    oh so many years ago.
    I am the Star of Bethlehem.
    I was requested by angels
    to shine
    brighter than
    all the other stars
    that night,
    to tell the whole world
    that a very special child had been born
    to spread
    goodwill and peace.
    And this is the story
    of the first Christmas.
    All was quiet that night
    as I watched the Three Kings
    traveling slowly on camelback
    through desert lands.
    Just then, I beamed brightly,
    as the angels had told me to.
    The Kings noticed me in the East.
    They couldn’t
    resist my brilliance.
    Perhaps they had heard
    that a star like me
    was going to show the way
    to the son of God.
    Traveling
    through the night,
    the Kings met shepherds
    watching over their flock.
    “We are following
    that incredibly beautiful star
    there in the East,
    to find the place
    where the son of God
    has just been born.”
    From there they all traveled
    together,
    watching me,
    the brightest star in the sky.
    Finally,
    they arrived at a small town
    called Bethlehem,
    and saw that I was gleaming
    radiantly above the barnyard
    of an Inn.
    All was quiet and peaceful.
    Their caravan entered
    the barnyard
    to see the tender little baby
    lying in a simple manger
    fluffed with hay.
    Next to the baby
    were Mary and Joseph,
    his mother and father,
    and many farm animals.
    The Kings offered
    the precious gifts
    they’d carried from afar
    for baby Jesus:
    gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
    The shepherds kneeled
    on the ground to pray;
    they were grateful for the gift
    of love and the purity
    the baby
    brought.
    Many people offered gifts
    after that -
    I suppose this is
    why on Christmas Day,
    people around the world
    enjoy offering gifts
    as a sign of love and hope.
    And they try their best
    to bring happiness to others,
    as Jesus did
    all his life.
    Now I’d like to wish you
    a holiday season
    that shines as brightly
    as the Star of Bethlehem!
