THE FIRST CHRISTMAS
Hello I am an ox. My name is Boxer. I live in a stable in Bethlehem. My owner is John. I spend my time eating hay. My best friend is Toxic the other ox. I hated my life because it was boring but one day Mary and Joseph came in to the stable because there was no were else to go because of the census. Mary had travelled to the stable on a donkey.
Mary and Joseph had a baby that night. Joseph used a trough to put the baby in. He made a seat out of hay. They did not like the stable because there was no bed and no rug. They wanted an inn. The stable was smelly and dirty.
Three kings came to visit. They brought gold, myrrh and frankincense. I felt excited because I knew there were four kings in the stable. Shepherds brought their sheep to visit the baby.
