It's a well-known story that has been retold for more than 2000 years. A couple, Mary and Joseph, travel from their home city to another city to pay taxes. Mary is with child and about to deliver as they arrive at their destination a city called Bethlehem. Joseph tries to secure lodging at an inn without success. With no lodging and Mary going into active labor, what is the couple to do? A stable is offered and the couple accepts. Mary gives birth to a son, Jesus, in the stable with the child swaddle and placed in manger from which the animals ate hay. We are told that with the birth, a true celestial event occurs – a choir of angels send out a special birth announcement singing ....Peace to all on earth. As we celebrate the Christmas story, let us live out the angels' tidings in our actions throughout the coming year.
