-Lovely artwork and
nice presentation, Sandra.
-Thanks for sharing the notes.
-An excellent poem for children
about that special night one
Christmas Eve.
-It flows well with effective
imagery and rhyme as Daddy
Mouse tells the story.
-I like all of the detail as Miss
Cow gets help from the angel
and the other animals.
-Each pitched in with things
they found to make the
manger comfortable.
-I like the part when
"a light shone around."
-A very good ending, and
an excellent entry for the contest.
-Thanks for sharing it and
this wonderful Christmas spirit.
-Good luck in the contest, my friend.

    Sorry I'm so late replying, Pam, I've been running around like a headless chicken trying to get our holiday paperwork sorted. This covid has really made life difficult in more ways than one!
    Thank you so very much for this fabulous review and all the golden stars. I'm over the moon that you enjoyed my children's Christmas story. I'll have to write some more bringing back the whole gang. Thank you, my dear friend, you've made my day. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

Sandra,
This is a wonderfully done Christmas story about how the animals in the stable helped to make the bed. It tells of the birth of Jesus and what led up to it. It is a good addition to your Hedge Row writings.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck and Happy Holidays.
Joan

Well this is certainly a new look at a Christmas story, Sandra. Leave it up to you to come up with something new. This is an incredible account of what all the animals felt that special day so many years ago when our Christ Child was born. This is great dear. Love it. Nancy:)

Good luck with this. Fables are of my favorites to read, so this falls well into my lap.
I could read forever, such the child in me.
Lovely.
Have a good Sunday.
Best wishes.

What a great entry for the contest, good luck. I am very impressed with the rhyming and story. Sometimes that is hard to do. You made it sound effortless, which I am sure it was not. Really good job!

How warm and touching, telling the Christmas Story through the simplicity of little micfe. Children will absolutely be enthralled by it as well as young at heart adults. If I ever get them all gathered in one spot, I will most definitely share it with them. It's perfect!

Sending my love and lots of hugs, Carol
