• There were a brother and sister that were poor. They couldn’t buy anything for Baby Jesus in the manger. They picked weeds to put in the crib to make it soft. Some kids made fun of the weeds but suddenly God made a miracle and the weeds turned into beautiful red flowers. So at Christmas time everyone puts out Poinsettias.
