day 23: make star for tree

Sarah has been very concerned that we have nothing for the top of our tree, so together we made this star for our tree today. Her favorite part was putting the glitter on. She put a lot of glitter on. We also read Twinkle, Twinkle Christmas Star by Christine Harder Tangvald that is one of my favorite Christmas books.

Twinkle, twinkle Christmas star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Lighting bright the Christmas sky.
Star of hope, star of love,
Twinkle, twinkle from above.

Twinkle, twinkle Christmas star,
How I wonder what you are.
Shine on meadows, shine on sheep.
Shine on shepherds as they sleep.
Wake and see a light so bright,
What is happening tonight?

Twinkle, twinkle Christmas star,
How I wonder what you are.
Shine on angels as they sing,
Can you hear the news they bring?
"Born this night--oh, what a joy!
God's own Son, a baby boy!"

Twinkle, twinkle Christmas star,
How I wonder what you are.
Shine on Joseph, Mary too.
Shine and shine the whole night through.
Oh, now watch, see them lay,
Baby Jesus on the hay!

I love the stars that twinkle bright!
I love the stars on Christmas night!
Christmas night is for me too.
Jesus came for me, it's true.
Thank you, God, for what you've done!
Thank you, God, for your own Son!
