Christmas is About Hope

"[The Christmas story] is a story about hope (because all babies are about hope for the future); a story for ordinary people (because the angels appeared to shepherds); a story about a star (a symbol of light in a dark world); a story about wise men (the search for wisdom); a story about love (Mary and Joseph's love for their baby born in dubious and uncomfortable circumstances); a story about angels (if God is love, then angels are messengers of love); and a story, above all, about peace and goodwill on Earth!

'We all need that story. We all suspend belief when it comes to turtles racing hares, but we all can get the message."

--Margaret Rolfe
