Robert Alexander just HAS to choose this photo for today! He knows that Tom and Priscilla Jane have been allowed to use a photo of themselves during their lesson on Advent about the "Colours of Christmas" for the 1st December. He, therefore, was keen for his royal purple cabbage to be included today as a record of his contribution to that same lesson!
Amelia too is happy to see this photo as it shows her colouring in her tree with red, another colour that represents Christmas. Red represents Jesus' blood that was spilt when he was crucified.
Amelia and Robert Alexander have chosen this carol because it tells the story of how it came to be that God sent his only son, Jesus, in order to save us from our sins by dying on a cross.
