0:00:28 > 0:00:31Oh, excuse me, this one's from my sister.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Excuse me, Sprocket.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's see what she said.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Oh, my goodness, my sister's having a baby!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I'm going to be an uncle.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Yes, and look, this is a picture of the baby inside her tummy.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Isn't that amazing?
0:00:51 > 0:00:54If you have a baby brother or a sister,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57you'll know that having a baby is a very special event.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00That's what the wonderful festival I've got to show you today
0:01:00 > 0:01:02is all about.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05It's called...Christmas.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07And I've got a friend who's getting ready for it.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hi, my name's Katie and this is my sister, Hannah.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15And we're getting ready to celebrate Christmas.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Christmas is our favourite time of year.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We have a special calendar called the advent calendar
0:01:21 > 0:01:24to count down the days to Christmas.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Every day we open a new door.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Look! Baby on a donkey.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Christmas is a day when Christians
0:01:31 > 0:01:34remember the day that Jesus was born.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36THEY LAUGH
0:01:36 > 0:01:40We're going to make a card to give to Mum and Dad for Christmas.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- We're going to make this a head, yeah?- Oh, yeah.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44It needs eyes.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- One...- Two.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48We need a mouth.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50And a nose.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- It needs a scarf. - To keep it warm in the night.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Shall we have some snowflakes at the top?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Perfect!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04There, finished, yeah!
0:02:04 > 0:02:08I can't wait to give the card to Mum and Dad.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Mum's back from shopping! - Mum, what did you get?
0:02:10 > 0:02:15Well, I've got presents for a boy and presents for a girl.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Shall we put them in the boxes?- OK.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22At Christmas, we love getting presents.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24And it's great to give presents too.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28We're going to give some presents to children
0:02:28 > 0:02:31who don't have as many toys as we do.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Now our presents are ready, we'll take them to church.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36They'll give them to children that need them.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41I bet the children that get these on Christmas Day will be so happy.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47It's really fun coming to our church at Christmas
0:02:47 > 0:02:50because we can see all our friends.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We're decorating the Christmas tree.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I found a nice little bauble.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I'm going to put it there.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Now we're going to set up the nativity scene.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16The nativity scene reminds us of the Christmas story.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17There's Joseph.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20And Mary and Jesus.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23And there were even sheep in the stable.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I know a place where we can see animals.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Come on, Katie.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32We're going to our local farm to see the animals.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- There were sheep in the nativity. - There were. Who brought the sheep?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Was it baby Jesus?- The shepherds.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Hello.- Come on, hello!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44What animal should we visit next?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Do you want to see the donkey? - Yeah, but where? Over there!
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Oh, they're lovely, aren't they? - Come on.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Did you know a donkey was in the nativity?
0:03:55 > 0:04:00That's right, the donkey carried Mary all the way to the stable.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01I bet he was tired.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Come on.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Come on.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08- Come on.- Let's go over.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16MUSIC: "Jingle Bells"
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Our friends are playing Christmas songs for everyone.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I can't wait until Christmas now!
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I love Christmas.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46And I've decided to send a present to my niece...
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Or my nephew.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Erm...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I've got a bit stuck, ha-ha!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I'm not very good at wrapping.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Erm...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58While I try to get myself out of this,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01would you like to hear the Christmas story?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08This is the story of a very special baby.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15One day, a young girl called Mary was in her house.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Suddenly a bright light entered the room
0:05:19 > 0:05:23and there above her was a huge and beautiful angel.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30The angel filled the room with light as he spoke.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32"Mary", he said.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37"Don't be scared, God has chosen you to have a baby.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40"A special king, he was promised long ago.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42"His name will be Jesus."
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Mary wanted to ask lots of questions,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51but she trusted the angel and said,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53"I will do whatever God wants."
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Nine months later, the baby was almost ready to be born
0:06:02 > 0:06:05and Mary and her husband, Joseph,
0:06:05 > 0:06:09had to travel a long way to Bethlehem.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Mary was tired and uncomfortable on the journey.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19She knew the baby was going to be born soon.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26The only place Joseph could find was an old, draughty stable.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Mary gave birth to a baby boy and called him Jesus.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Because there was no cot for him, she laid Jesus in a manger.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44A dirty animal-feeding trough.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47What a way for a king to begin his life!
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Some wise men came to visit.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56They wanted to celebrate the birth of a new baby
0:06:56 > 0:07:00and gave presents of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
0:07:00 > 0:07:06They knew where Jesus was because they had followed a beautiful star,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08which led them to the stable.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Can you see the star?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16# It's great to celebrate... #
0:07:16 > 0:07:21Now, it's a good job that man didn't have his hands covered in sticky tape
0:07:21 > 0:07:23and wrapping paper, isn't it?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25There, finished!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27What do you think, Sprocket?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Can you tell what it is?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Baby Jesus got presents too.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34They just weren't exactly like that.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Shall we see the Christmas celebrations now?
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Here we go.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Hello, it's nearly Christmas and we're really excited.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49We have a special job to do in church today.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54We're performing for everyone.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57# I just want you for my own
0:07:57 > 0:08:01# More than you could ever know
0:08:01 > 0:08:03# Let my wish come true
0:08:03 > 0:08:09# All I want for Christmas is you... #
0:08:09 > 0:08:12And now we're taking part in the nativity.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Look, there's Mary and Joseph.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I'm playing the Angel Gabriel.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21I'm playing an angel.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28APPLAUSE
0:08:33 > 0:08:37The church service has finished.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41We're going to the Christmas market now.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45The Christmas market is really busy,
0:08:45 > 0:08:49with everyone rushing around getting ready for Christmas.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Oh, look, it's a Jesus!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Baby Jesus.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Joseph, the shepherds...
0:08:58 > 0:08:59There's a big one there.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Right, girls, I've got somebody who'd like to meet you.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15- Wow!- Wow!

0:09:33 > 0:09:35- I hope you have a merry Christmas. - Thank you!
0:09:35 > 0:09:41It's time for us to go home now.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46There's still a few more things we need to do before Christmas arrives.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49We're making mince pies to have at Christmas.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Thank you.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54We can leave one out for Father Christmas when he comes.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Push it down, that's it. Keep pushing it.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- And then turn it over to the other side.- That's it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08There's some mince, so if I get two spoons you can have a spoon,
0:10:08 > 0:10:09and you can have a spoon.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Oh, looking good. - We can give one to Santa.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18He said, "What you going to leave out?", we said, "Mince pies".
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Excellent, well he...
0:10:19 > 0:10:21We could put "Homemade".
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Can you put some more tops on for us?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39There we are, all done. Now it's time to put them in the oven.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Go on then, Mummy.- There we are.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00- Lovely.- Hey, why don't we leave one out for Father Christmas?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Good idea, there's one.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- They're not bad actually.- Very nice.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Mummy, Daddy, we made this card for you.

0:11:11 > 0:11:12"To Mum and Dad."
