Summary:
Told through the eyes of a humble shepherd, this heartfelt skit brings the wonder of the first Christmas to life. As the shepherd recounts the night the angels filled the sky with light and song, the story unfolds behind him — with simple scenes of the fields, the manger, and the holy family. His voice of awe and gratitude reminds everyone that the message of Christmas isn’t just meant to be heard, but shared.
