As a Christian Believer, I don’t really care exactly…when…Jesus was Born, I am just Ecstatic that He…was…Born! Can I get an... Amen? Pressing-on! Merry Christmas!

Twas the Night Afore First Christmas and throughout all the earth surely, no one was expecting… Messiah’s... Birth! All the world was asleep 0n a winter’s night so clear as a peaceful tide watched... a shooting star stilled in sky's spher Then suddenly, Announcing His Birth… lofty angels caroled…a joyous refrain for there…swaddled in a barn… Our Savior was born…Jesus, His Name. Soon arrived…awakened shepherds… and three wise magi…ventured too adoring and witnessing… God's Promise…had at last come true . For centuries humanity did yearn even some…began to doubt but thus, the longing…was over their…King…entered, in lowly clout. Now, many question to belabor and argue… the day and time …of believers’ celebration yet these things are really so unimportant as point is; He came…to save every nation. Jubilation overflows... for Our Redeemer it mattering not to us…the date, exact but that…every heart should reach for Him on day set-aside…to muse…Miraculous…fact. Yea, A Love Unequaled …was revealed thus, in homage unison, untiring… on Christmas Day…across the universe near and far, spirits knit…faith undying. Lifting Him up…are grateful souls embracing Him…with eternal mirth while wishing we had a …thousand tongues to render Praise for…Messiah’s Birth! Matt 1:17-25 & 2:1-12, Lk 2:1-20 ©jmsbell-12/17/2023

You have expertly woven together all of the mythology surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ gathering from all of those great Christmas carols and accounts in the Bible to come up with your own, very original and beautiful rendition.

It is interesting that, especially when we are young, birthdays become so important that we have celebrations for them. But when we get to my age, and all family and many friends are gone, if not dead already, thousands of miles away and can only remotely acknowledge, birthdays don't really mean that much except the counting of time alive.

But for some reason, while Jesus, according to all accounts, didn't emerge from obscurity until he was around thirty years old, has a birthday that's celebrated even by people who aren't Christian throughout the world. And the celebration seems to get bigger every year and more commercial! But, when we get to my age, and all family and many friends are gone, if not dead already, thousands of miles away, do we really need rituals like this in order to be happy?
