Annie, a little girl, wanted to gift something special to her mother for Christmas. So, she took out her piggy bank. She counted the coins, but it was not enough to buy a good gift. Annie still wished to gift something to her mother. She thought about Christmas. It started with a man and a woman who travelled a long way. They had to sleep outside because there was no place to stay. They stayed in a stable on a cold and quiet night, and brought into the world a baby full of joy and light. They did not have much money, but they had a lot of love. Annie thought of Jesus and what Christmas means today. What matters most is giving love and making sure it shows. So, Annie made a lovely breakfast while her mother was asleep. Her mother saw how much Annie cared with all that she had done. She thanked her daughter for the special Christmas gift.
