First day of Advent

"A long time ago, long before Jesus was born, many people were not very happy.  These people found it hard to get enough food, clothes, and a home for their families.  They were poor because the government took so much money for taxes.  Still these poor people hoped that a better day would come.  In fact, some of their religious leaders, called Prophets, said that God would send someone to help them,  Later Jesus was born in the country of Palestine."
