A Girl Called Mary
Is Christmas starting? When does it start in your house? How do you know? Ed and Jam talk about when they know Christmas is coming in their homes. Plus fun facts about a very ordinary woman (and how to grow taller by going into space) – and although Mary was ordinary, some extraordinary things happened.
A Young Man Called Joseph
Christmas is coming, but you might be so excited, there are tears before bedtime. What’s the normal cause of those tears? In our Christmas story, Joseph was going to bed knowing that his fiancee was going to have a baby – and it was all going wrong. But a visitor in the night, changed everything!
Simple Shepherds
Ed’s favourite bit of the story is the shepherds. And here they are, in all their ordinary glory on a hill in the dark. When were you last in the dark? There’s a place near Jam that is VERY dark indeed. But that dark hillside was lit up by something very glorious!
Wonderful Wisemen
In the last in the Come Along Christmas series, Ed and Jam are back with the story of the wonderful wisemen who follow wherever the star leads, all the way to Jesus. They have gifts to bring – but where do we find gifts? Under the tree, and Jam has some fun facts about ordinary Christmas trees and one truly gigantic one.
