Who says all those "begats" in the first chapter of Matthew aren't fun to read? Kids and parents will have fun reading and singing along with this joyful Andrew Peterson song.

Looking for an unusually delightful addition to your Advent tradition? How about a bluegrass rendition of Jesus' genealogy as delivered in Matthew1:2-6? The "begats" are a section many readers are tempted to skim over to get to the "real" story, but included in Jesus' family history are many people from familiar Old Testament stories, those that make it to flannelgraph and those who only get a verse or two in the books of Kings.
