Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.
But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for see--I am bringing you good news of great joy
for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the
Lord.
(Luke 2:19
NRSV)
In a FAMILY CIRCUS cartoon, the little girl sits her baby brother on her lap
and tells him the story of Christmas. According to her version, Jesus was
born just in time for Christmas up at the North Pole surrounded by eight tiny
reindeer and the Virgin Mary...Then Santa Claus showed up with lots of toys
and stuff and some swaddling clothes...The three wise men and the elves all
sang carols while the Little Drummer Boy and Scrooge helped Joseph trim
the tree...In the meantime, Frosty the Snowman saw this star...
Dear God, I cannot thank you enough for the gift of Jesus my savior! Amen.
