Thanks for the sharing the history of this iconic video that, apparently, almost never was. This was definitely part of my husband's childhood tradition, and we have shared with our children. Now I am excited to find a night to watch with them this season.

1. Reminders of home, a strong iconic connection to my parents

2. Definitive choices to show manger scene images in Christmas decor, clothing etc. Sharing the Luke story of Jesus' birth with children and adults.

It's OK to celebrate joys of God's Creation: seasonal beauty, manmade traditions as long as we acknowledge, prioritize and thank God as the Creator of all and that Jesus is the Son of God sent to earth to be our Master Teacher of Truth, usher in the New Covenant and atone for all humanity's sins.

Same for Easter! Celebrate the beauties of Spring and share the meaning of Christ's Resurrection. Again, sharing Matthew, Luke and John so that people read for themselves to KNOW the Truth and Believe.

(Mark is shortest, Matthew Luke and John include vital details)

Remember: NO judgement - only God is the ultimate judge. It's not our job.

Condemnation or snubs of secular holiday joy serve to turn people off in times where the real story of Jesus is very much needed, but suppressed.
