Jackson is feeling a bit under the weather today so he stayed home from school today.  We watched ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ together.  This 1965 classic is an excellent reminder of what Christmas is all about.  We always watch it on Christmas Eve after our kiddos exchange the gifts they get for one another.  It will air on ABC again on December 20 at 8/7 central.  Every time I watch it I get a little emotional.  As you prepare Him room I hope you enjoy this little clip.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Luke 2:8-14 KJV
