The M & M Nativity


As you hold these candies in your hand and turn them, You will see the M becomes a W, an E, and a 3.
They tell the Christmas Story; It's one I'm sure you'll 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 Wise men bearing gifts; With haste they came.
W is for worship;
Angels sang praise to His name.
So as you eat these candies
Or share them with a friend, Remember the true spirit of Christmas and never let it end!
This poem could be attached to a snack packet of large bag of M&M's to give to a neighbor, or even a handful of M&M's in small cellophane bag with ribbon tied and poem attached. I hope this helps for anyone looking for Christ-centered Christmas ideas... Great for neighbor gifts, youth groups, teacher gifts, etc. Enjoy!
