Twas the First Night of Christmas

About this book

I wrote this as a poem for a poetry book. Before even being published, a pastor friend who read it wanted me to recite it as part of their church Christmas program. In doing so, one of the leaders of that church wanted a copy to read on Christmas Eve to his grandchildren. This year, another church asked if they could build their upcoming Christmas program around this poem. It has been so well received by all who read it, I thought it would be a perfect book for the young and old, and one you may consider reading to your children, or grandchildren each Christmas eve. The Christmas story is also told in one other place in the Bible, and the scripture for that is below. Matthew 1:18-2:12 In reading Chapter two, you will realize that the 'Three Kings' came a few years later, and at that time, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were living in a house.
