Nativity Night

Here are two night time lullaby-ish Christmas carols: "Silent Night" & "O Little Town of Bethlehem" sung by Nat King Cole.

Focus on words of calm, peace, & stillness.

Talk about the color blue which represents mellow & quiet.

Hear are some blue tinted nativity pictures:

There are some beautiful examples and illustrations of night time and its happenings in Night's Nice by Barbara & Ed Emberley:

Luke 2:14 talks about Jesus coming as being peace on earth and good will towards people.

The contrast of Jesus being the bright light on that dark night is found in these lyrics from our two songs above:
 
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright 

Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
