Christmas is all about the good news of Jesus coming to Earth as a baby.
And Christmas time is the perfect time to teach your kids a few special Bible verses about that miracle. We love Bible verses that are set to music because it makes it so much easier to commit them to memory. We play the songs every morning on the way to school.
Here are 5 of our favorite verses and songs for this season, along with the printable verse cards that we use.
