Christmas Lights

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

The lights on the Christmas Tree winked

And the snow fell thick and heavy outside

From the walls of the school hall

Angels spread their silvery wings

And the Three Kings held high their gifts

The lights dimmed and silence fell

Mums and dads, grannies and grandpas

Stared at the stage expectantly

For the Christmas story to begin

A spotlight flooded the stage and a small child entered

Wide-eyed, she stared at the sea of smiling faces before her

"Welcome," she whispered, "to our. . . to our. . . .to our. . . "

Then she froze like a frightened rabbit caught in the headlights glare

"To our Nativity!" came the teachers hushed voice off-stage

"To our. . . "began the child again "To our. . . "

"Nativity!" repeated the teacher

"Harvest Festival!" announced the child
