Just did this talk with Bellerive Primary school and will use it again on Christmas day.

Joseph and Mary travelled to Bethlehem along a (rocky road)
They became tired on the journey and needed a (boost)
So Joseph decided it was time to stop for a (picnic)
When they arrived at Bethlehem the only place to stay was a stable full of (furry friends) where the baby Jesus was born.
That night in the field near Bethlehem some shepherds were minding their sheep. It was so cold that the grass was (chunchie).
As they were watching their sheep they were (kinder surprise) by some Angels who told them to go to Bethlehem and see this newborn King.
Meanwhile, in the east there were three (smarties) or wise men who were studying the stars of the (milky way) when they saw a huge star.
They first thought it might have been the planet (mars) but it wasn’t. They followed the star.
When they arrived at Bethlehem they entered and presented their (bounty) of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.
That night the three wise men had a (dream) in which God warned them that King Herod was up to his old (twix) so they returned home without telling him about Jesus.
You see, Christmas is more than Santa, Reindeer and Snow(flake)s
It’s more than having lots and lots of food to (chomp) on
We can get into so much of a (twirl) trying to organise Christmas we forget what it is really about.
This Christmas we need to take some (time out) and remember the best thing about Christmas is JESUS.
