The First Christmas Merri Dee Scott

Based on the iconic The Night Before Christmas, The First Christmas introduces young children to the first Christmas and the birth of Jesus. Through simple rhyming words and pictures, the poem helps young ones visualize the events that took place in Bethlehem all those many years ago.



The First Christmas follows Mary and Joseph as they prepare for the birth of their child in a stable. It shares the miracle of Jesus' arrival as it's celebrated by angels and shepherds.
