Ever wonder what it was like on that one starry night in Bethlehem long ago? That night when angels sang, shepherds rejoiced, and a young couple gazed at their precious, newborn baby boy. You may think you’ve heard it all before; that you know all there is to know about that night and that special baby’s birth. But until you’ve heard the story told by the animals who were there with Mary and Joseph, you just might be missing an important perspective on all that happened that first Christmas night! Now you can hear all about it in Raad Tidings We Bring…The Animals’ Christmas Story, new, from Christy and Daniel Semsen! The Animals’ Christmas Story begins with two revered “old-timers”… two celebrated “senior citizens” of the animal community in Bethlehem. Meet Ruthie and Eleanor; one, a wise old donkey, the other, a shall we say, long-in-the-tooth, camel, both reminiscing about the night when Christ was born. Our two old friends are joined throughout the musical by others who all came together to experience this miraculous birth. You’ll hear from birds on their way to Bethlehem for the census, meet theater mice and a thespian cat who entertain guests at the inn, and be introduced to a super-smart sheepdog and a super-chill flock of sheep- you know, those sheep who saw the angels on the hillside, outside of Bethlehem! Raad Tidings We Bring… The Animals’ Christmas Story, is a paws-i-tively amazing, meow-fully wonderful, hee-haw-fully marvelous re-telling of God’s love story…the story of a Savior, the story of redemption, the story of Christmas!

As our story’s family begins their journey on Christmas Eve, they find themselves in an epic snowstorm that threatens their safe arrival at Grandma’s house. Forced off the road by the storm, they miraculously come across an unexpected “this-didn’t-show-up-on-anygps- maps” safe harbor… Hotel Noel! With a name like Hotel Noel, full of the promise of holiday festivities and decorations, the kids are severely disappointed as they discover it to be a plain, bland, not-a-decoration-in-sight hotel. Unknown to the family, however, the hotel is staffed by Christmas angels tasked to share the true meaning of Christmas with those in need of hearing their message of hope and salvation. These special, heavenly envoys - Gloria, Gabriel, Michael, and Angela - step in to share the origins and meaning of the hotel’s name, Noel, explaining that Christmas is more about celebrating the birth of our Savior than about brightly wrapped gifts and shiny holiday decorations. This new Simply WordKidz Musical for a Christmas carries the hallmarks of the series – easy to learn, easy to sing, easy to produce – while featuring fun and powerful new songs of the season along with familiar carols. Celebrate the birth of Jesus this Christmas with Hotel Noel and let your kids choir share with the world what Christmas is really all about!
