I have included the Vanessa Williams version as my song choice to accompany this post, fyi. As well, if you know this carol then you obviously know it tells part of The Nativity story. But did you know that there is soooo much more than that going on with the story of how this carol came to be? Click away and discover why. Enjoy the historical journey.

Christmas Stories To Be Shared By The Fire: What Child Is This? by William Chatterton Dix https://tommacinneswriter.com/2025/12/08/christmas-stories-to-be-shared-by-the-fire-what-child-is-this-by-william-chatterton-dix/ ##ChristmasCarols, ##ChristmasStoriesToBeSharedByTheFire, ##Music, ##VanessaWilliams, ##WhatChildIsThis?, ##WilliamChattertonDix

What child is this
With cape and "S"
Whom Martha now is raising?
With strength so great, and manner sweet
And all around amazing

This, this is the Boy of Steel
Krypton’s last hope, our Earth to heal
Up, up,
and away he flies!
Kal-El, the son of two worlds.
