What did The Little Drummer Boy give to the Christ child?
The Little Drummer Boy is not in the Bible. There are a number of figures associated with the nativity who seem to be put there by folklore or song. Babushka is another.
The lyrics tell the apocryphal story of a poor young boy who, unable to afford a gift for the infant Jesus, plays his drum for the newborn with the Virgin Mary's approval.
