" ON THE EIGHT DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS. . ."


Instead of a story or a treat, today I'd like to share my favorite Christmas movie--"The Nativity Story." If you haven't watched it, please do. It's a stunning telling of the complex details surrounding the birth of Christ. The script covers the political, social, spiritual and astronomical events that culminated in the singularly divine birth of Jesus, told with exquisite acting and cinematography.

The story is harrowing, and parents of young children should be cautioned, but anyone, from Christian devotees to academics, will be spellbound by this film. It is now a tradition in our home.
