Nativity Checklist
shepherds watching
angel choir
wise men decked
in best attire
extra crowns
(just in case)
Joseph ready
star in place
donkey resting
presents piled
Mary lulls her
Holy Child
guests are seated
lights are dim
now the carols
can begin
angel choir

in best attire

(just in case)
Joseph ready
star in place

presents piled
Mary lulls her
Holy Child
guests are seated
lights are dim
now the carols
can begin
