The Story of Christmas:

The story of Christmas is not about Santa. It's not even about milk and cookies. It's about Jesus and the fact that He gave His life for you and for me. Now those of you who are not Christian's don't close out of this blog. The story of Christmas is as simple as this...

Mary was a simple virgin girl who wanted nothing more than to be a girl playing with her friends. A man named Joseph lived in the same town as her and noticed her very much. Another words, he liked her. He also knew her family was poor and had barely enough money to put food on the table for 2 people let alone 3. So he asked to marry her. She was to stay pure for a year before they should marry. She was praying when an angel came to her and told her she was to bear a son and call him Jesus. She told the angel that she wanted to bear the son. Now she knows she is pregnant with the Lord Jesus Christ. She wants to go visit her cousin Elizabeth who is an old barren woman, but God said she would be pregnant and she was. When Mary arrived at Elizabeth's house Elizabeth was pregnant with a son who God said they would call John. Elizabeth told Mary that her son jumped in her womb when Mary arrived. Mary returned to her home town pregnant and Joseph was furious, as were her parents. She told them the child was from God, but they did not believe her. Joseph had a dream and returned to her saying he believed. She was ecstatic, but when the Romans said that every man must return to their home city, Mary and Joseph had to move to Bethlehem. So they moved there and the time came for the baby to be born. A star shone bright above the child, and Shepherds gathered around Mary, Joseph, and the child. He was born in a manger. About a year later the three wise men came to the child and gave him three gifts: gold, frankencense, and mir.

And that my friends, is the story of Christmas. Jesus being born....
