    To so many, the mystery of this event brings a magic to their celebration like none other. Let’s unwrap the greatest Christmas gift ever given and discover the REAL REASON for the SEASON... Why was Jesus Born?

    I think that we both would agree that Christmas is more than the cards and gifts, more than the trees and lights, more than family and food.

    One of the most puzzling facts of Christmas is that God, when He came to earth & took upon Himself human form, was born in a stable. Why? Were there not more appropriate places for the Son of God?
