Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

I have to salute Christmas now as it is almost here. Along with the carols, I am trilling "Happy Christmas" by John Lennon and "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney. What's Christmas without Mary, Joseph, the infant Jesus, the angels, the shepherds, the wise men, and the Beatles?

This video of the Nativity banishes all the commercialism at least for a while and brings Christmas into its own again. Two gay Christian friends forwarded the link. I have often wondered at how earnest and sincere is the faith of many gay Christians. It is all the more striking because of how some non-gay Christians treat them.

This Nativity scene comes across as authentic. The people really look like people that came from that region, and the manger looks like a manger, and it's all there. It is truly all there.
