Angels Wake the Forest
This heartwarming story includes a brief retelling of the night Jesus was born as two angels reflect on the very first Christmas. They decide to bring the joy of that night to a quiet, snowy, and sleeping pine forest. As they begin to sing, the Nativity song awakens the sleeping forest. Squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, and deer begin to dance in the snow. As the angelic music spreads, bringing life to the woods, birds fly from heaven to decorate the snowy pine trees. The Nativity song grows louder as choirs of other angels arrive to sing and dance, turning the quiet forest into a breathtaking scene of Christmas light and happiness, reflecting the joy that awakens in us during the Christmas season.
