1. Learn the poem:

A Song Was Heard At Christmas 

A song was heard at Christmas

To wake the midnight sky:

A saviour's birth, and peace on earth,

And praise to God on high.

The angels sang at Christmas

With all the hosts above,

And still we sing the newborn King

His glory and his love.

3. What does Candy Cane mean?

Sweet Symbol 

A significant symbol of Christmas

Is the simple candy cane.

It's shape is the crook of the shepherd

One of the first who came.

The lively peppermint flavor is

The regal gift of spice.

The white is Jesus' purity.

The red is sacrifice.

The narrow stripes are friendship.

And the nearness of his love.

Eternal, sweet compassion

A gift from God above.

The candy cane reminds us all

Of how much God cared.

And like His Christmas gift to use

It's meant to be broken and shared.
