Give M&M sweets to the audience before you read the poem or give out packets with the poem clipped to the outside.

**********************************

As you hold these chocolates In you hand, And turn them, You will see.
The M becomes a W, An E, and then a 3.

They tell the Christmas story, It's one I'm sure you know.
It took place in a stable, A long, long, time ago.

The E is for the East, Where the star shone so bright.
The M is for the Manger, Where Baby Jesus slept that night.

The 3 is for the Wisemen, Bearing gifts, they say they came.
W is for Worship, Hallelujah, Praise His Name.

So as you eat these chocolates, Or share them with a friend,
Remember the meaning of Christmas, It's a Love story that never ends.
