Today was the small camel, who matches yesterday's wise man perfectly. C said it was good the camel came after the wise man - otherwise we'd have to put out a search party for him. Also in the bag was this adorable reindeer moose. I can't figure out which he's supposed to be, since those are moose antlers, and he looks like he has a moose nose, but he's all Christmas-y.
Matthew 2:9, 10
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
With Wondering Awe
With wond'ring awe the wise men saw
The star in heaven springing,
And with delight, in peaceful night,
They heard the angels singing,
[Chorus]
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
By light of star they traveled far
to seek the lowly manger,
A humble bed wherein was laid
The wondrous little Stranger.
And still is found, the world around,
The old and hallowed story,
And still is sung in every tounge
The angels' song of glory:
The heav'nly star its rays afar
On ev'ry land is throwing,
And shall not cease till holy peace
In all the earth is growing.
