It all began with a girl called Mary who heard a WISPA, from an angel. ........ Joseph tried to find lodgings, but CLUB after CLUB turned them away. “No room”, they all said. ........That night, some shepherds, heard TUNES in the sky.
Angels or MINSTRELS, joined in. The shepherds decided to “take a break” (KIT- KAT) from looking after the sheep and said to one another, “let's take some TIME-OUT and go and see what's happening in Bethlehem”.
..........Meanwhile in a far country, there were some Wise men – many people called them SMARTIES - who were busily scanning the GALAXY and observing the PLANETS, when they saw a new light in the MILKY WAY. Could it be MARS? No, it was a special STAR (BAR) - signalling the birth of a King. .....
......... Jesus was born so that ALLSORTS of people might come know God's love for them. Like the shepherds and the Wise men, many people are looking for meaning and purpose - some kind of BOOST in life - a REFRESHER in difficult times.
But the Jesus of the Nativity is no MINATURE HERO and if He is who He said He was, and not just some MAVERICK looking for some SPORT, then the Christmas Story really is a cause for CELEBRATION’S!
