Why we celebrate Christmas

Little baby Jesus gets born in Bethlehem, it's a long long way away and it's his birthday - he is one years old.

Roisin, aged 5

It's all about calendars.

Michael, aged 5

It's all about baby Jesus' birthday.

Ponmile, aged 4

We celebrate Christmas because it is nice to give toys.

Jacob, aged 4

You get the 'advert' calendar down.

Jamie, aged 4

On Christmas Day Santa comes to me and we make snowmen.

Luciana, aged 3

It's because it's Jesus' birthday and we get presents because he loves us.
