Santa's Bedtime Story -

the Nativity told by Rosie and Rachel

It was Christmas Eve, and up in the frozen wastes of Lapland, not far from the North Pole, two little elves were putting the very last presents into Santa's last shipment for the night ... ... Enter Santa, who tries to say Ho, ho, ho,  and finds that he is hoarse -- Reckon I need another nip of sherry to keep the voice lubricated Now is that the shipment for Epping?   Would you like to come too?

So Santa and the pair of excited Elves stowed the presents in the back of the sleigh and WHOOSH! they were off in the direction of Epping ...

Santa and the elves got caught on a bird's nest in a chimney and woke the girls asleep in their bedroom.  Santa started telling the children a magical story  and as he read, characters seemed to appear... ...  during Little Donkey, Mary and Joseph walked around the church and to an inn ... ... and woke up a very grumpy innkeeper, who showed them a stable where they would sleep
Then some shepherds were told about the new baby by some angels, and they arrived, as the congregation sang While Shepherds watched ... Now the bright star had brought some other travellers, bringing presents - not the gold, myrrh and Frankenstein suggested by the elf, but gold myrrh and frankincense ... all to see the new born baby Jesus
