At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favoured, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfil his promises to her!”
Put on your favourite music and have a leaping around and dancing party. Perhaps you could play musical statues or musical bumps!
Jesus’ cousin, John, was so excited when he realised that Jesus was nearby, he jumped inside his Mum, even before he was born!
Colour in or write out the word JOY and stick it on your window. What could you do to help someone else jump for joy this Christmas time? Is there something you could give them, or say to them, that would help them know that Jesus is very near?
Why not see how many others of your friends and family can get involved with making a Christmas Window this year! At the end of every day you could take a photo and send it to friends, and ask them to show you what their window is lookling like!
