Once upon a time... just kidding! Actually to write the Christmas story in your own words is a bit daunting. I'm not sure exactly what auntie had in mind when she told me to do this so I'm just going to wing it.
An angel visited Mary and told that she would have a son, even though she was a virgin. She didn't understand and the angel explained that God would make it possible. She believed him. He also told her name the baby Jesus. Joseph ( who was her fiancee) wasn't sure what to do. But God told him in a dream that he should stay with Mary. When it was almost time for Mary to have the baby, she and Joseph had to go to Bethlehem to register for the census. When they got there, there was no room in the inns, but one of the innkeepers let them stay in his stable. So Jesus was born in a stable and was laid in the manger.
Meanwhile some shepherds were out watching their flocks and suddenly there was angel. They were afraid but the angel told them not to fear. He told them about Jesus being born in Bethlehem and that he was the Lord. He told them were to find him and suddenly there was a host of angels singing praise to God. Needless to say, the shepherds were excited. They went and found Jesus and worshiped him. Then they went and told everyone they could about these events.
Do you want me to add the wise men too? because technically they were a couple of years later.

Technically, they weren't "a couple years later". They were there within days of his birth.
Good job, though. You did leave out a couple of insignificant words here and there, that you should stick in.
