Little Bunny Flu Flu knew Christmas time was near Cause everybunny, everywhere was filled with Christmas cheer Hutches were trimmed with colorful berries and Flu Flu dreamed of sugar plum fairies She was busy making out her Christmas list A brand new bike was her fondest wish Mama was busy with her Christmas baking Papa was busy with toys he was making The best part of Christmas was Christmas Eve When the critters all gathered under the tree The huge old oak was the gathering place Just thinking about it put a smile on her face Papa always told the Christmas story about angels who came in all of their glory and told shepherds in the field about a child Born in a stable ~ he was gentle and mild Flu Flu loved to hear about this special boy If she met him, she’d give him her favorite toy Animal legends passed down through the years said the ox and the sheep, at his birth, shed tears His mama was lovely and young and sweet She let them stay when they wanted to meet her new little baby, born in a manger She knew they’d keep him safe from danger The sheep were told to stand near by They could comfort Jesus if he started to cry And it was told for years by the old brown mare that Mary stroked the baby with tender care Papa said this poor boy would one day be a king and his Father created the world and everything Flu Flu’s eyes were filled with wonder as she gazed at the stars in the dark blue yonder She thought in amazement as they left the tree Why, this Jesus loves critters just like me! I must thank him for being so kind I’ll just give him that new bike of mine Flu Flu learned a great lesson in living It feels so good when you’re the one giving. Cheryl McClellan, 12/12/01 |

Sunshine, Thank you for reading. Bunny Flu Flu is a special little rabbit that I've been writing adventures about. Hope to post some of her other ones later. I would be honored if you wanted to keep it for you grand-daughter. Larry C, Thank you also. I did not see a Children's Forum so I assumed this would be the place to post them. |

Cheryl - This, I must say, is a great write. I loved the perspective of the animals telling the story of baby Jesus being born. Very creative. Dave |
