"God so loved the world" is illustrated in this simple presentation with simple narration and familiar carols. There are three speakers and seven songs in this 20-minute celebration of the birth of Christ. The carols are set in unique musical settings such as, "Away in a Manger" with a Mexican beat in the background, or "Joy to the World" in a Celtic flavor. Children pull various ornaments from a box to decorate the class tree. Each one has a card attached explaining its meaning and relation to a different country. It concludes with the kids adding international flags to the tree as they sing, "Spread a Little Love."
