Alison Carver: Too Busy For Christmas

Isaiah is an innkeeper in Bethlehem but he's not a very happy one! Caesar Augustus has ordered a census to be taken and everyone has had to return to the place of their birth. The good news is that Isaiah's inn is full of travellers; the bad news is that all his staff have left the inn and gone home! Isaiah is rushed off his feet and far too busy to be concerned with a newborn baby in his stable. Then some unusual visitors arrive!

Too Busy For Christmas is suitable for the Primary age group. Its colourful and memorable songs and script present the true meaning of Christmas in a lively and imaginative way. There are opportunities for dance and some simple part-singing.

At the back of the book there are photocopiable song texts. The accompanying CD includes a demo of all the songs, plus complete backing tracks.
