The Carol Singers with Magic Voices
Every carol was filled with magic and melody
It was Christmas Eve and it was snowing for the last week. Every home in the small town had its windows and doors shut. The families could not go out to do their shopping. Their reserve supplies were coming to an end. The parents were worried that their children would have no food on Christmas day.
Adam and his wife Mary, sat at their kitchen table and prayed that they would have a Christmas miracle. Nothing happened, it seemed that their prayers were not going to be answered. The family went to sleep with empty stomachs on Christmas Eve.
At eleven O’clock on Christmas Eve, Adam and his family awoke to the sounds of carol singing. Their two children Chloe and Robert ran to the window to see a small group of carol singers carolling in the snow. Adam put on his coat, as the carol singers continued singing outside. Mary cut pieces of Christmas cake they had saved for Christmas Day. Adam went outside and asked the talk gentleman with a short grey beard if he and the group would come into their home. He said that they were in a hurry and were visiting the other homes in the town. Those carol singers had voices filled with magic and melody.
