Synopsis:
Grades 1 is faced with a problem! They can't be admitted to the Christmas Concert because they don’t have tickets! What a disappointment! Can you imagine Christmas without the Christmas concert?
But they are BIS students! Nothing can stop them! Determined, they decide to put on their own concert. But uh-oh… they can’t remember anything from music class! What now? They try their hardest to recall their favorite songs from when they were just little kids.
With many fun songs prepared, they begin to wonder, ‘For Whom Shall We Sing Our Song?’ They come to realize that they’ve forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, who came to forgive, restore, save and strengthen us as God’s children! Thank you, Jesus~! Thank you, God! From now on, every move I make is for You, Jesus~! Lord, we lift Your Name on High!

Where are You Christmas?
Where are you Christmas? Why can't I find you? Why have you gone away..
Where is the laughter? You used to bring me. Why can't I hear music play?
My world is changing, I'm rearranging. Does this mean Christmas changes too.
Where are you Christmas? Do you remember? The one you used to know. I'm not the same one. See what the time's done… Is that why you have let me go.
(G1 Action = As the song ends, everyone's head down)
Narrator Yoohyun: But! they were not going to stay sad!
(G1 Action = head up!)

(Song from Paul’s Class "Give Thanks"
Give Thanks
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
give thanks to the Holy One;
give thanks, because he’s given
Jesus Christ, his Son.
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
give thanks to the Holy One;
give thanks, because he’s given
Jesus Christ, his Son.
And now let the weak say ‘I am strong’,
let the poor say ‘I am rich’,
because of what the Lord has done for us;
and now let the weak say ‘I am strong’,
let the poor say ‘I am rich’,
because of what the Lord has done for us.
Give thanks…
Rade 1: Merry Christmas~!
