Did you ever realize that at Christmas we celebrate a child? And it is a celebration most especially for children? Children are important. We can indeed, take that lesson away.
The angel indicated this was a great gift. Mary clearly was thrilled. The faithful of Israel were looking for this child for centuries. We should be thrilled too.

We, too, as parents and educators are highly favored and blessed. Let us take this knowledge and encourage ourselves -- and reform our culture with it.
