Christmas Chant

Christmas Chant

Clop, clop, clop went the donkey's feet

Clop, clop, clop down the stoney street.

Nod, nod, nod went Mary's head

She was so tired, she needed a bed.

Knock, knock, knock went Joseph at the door.

Do you have room for anyone more?

No, no, no the innkeeper said.

Wait, wait, wait the innkeeper said

You can use my stable for a bed

Shh, shh, shh What is that I hear?

The cry of Baby Jesus, oh so dear.

Christmas Observations

A Sunday school teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus with
them to Jerusalem, "They couldn't get a baby-sitter," a small child replied.

When a pastor asked the class, "Why was Jesus born in Bethlehem?" a boy
raised his hand and replied, "Because his mother was there."
