Reply to "VIDEO, A-V Workshop Lessons and Ideas for Shepherds, Angelic Host, Stable"

DVD - "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

I've written a Shepherds/Angels Video Workshop lesson plan over in the General Birth Stories Video Workshop Forum

It used the " A Charlie Brown Christmas" video which features LINUS famously quoting the story of the shepherds receiving the good news from the angelic hosts. This video is recommended by others in this forum as well.

The lesson talks about the "real meaning" of Christmas, and about how Linus and Charlie are the shepherds and the angels.

In my lesson, I also share the story of how CBS almost didn't air the Christmas special because of its religious conclusion. This become a point of discussion with the kids, as it relates to a certain Messiah's birth that people didn't expect would happen or do well either!

Several people have posted the video as their recommended choice, and I have them to thank for calling my attention to this video's potential. I hope my addition of the story about Charles Schulz and CBS' near cancellation of the special helps your lesson take wings.
