“And the Glory of the Lord shall be revealed,

and all flesh shall see it together…”

—Isaiah 4:5

I have always loved the story of Immanuel coming to this planet.  I share it more than many others in many ways, perhaps because so many of my loved ones do not see the Glory clearly as I do.  I always choose a scene on my Christmas Card that displays the Christ Child in some way.  I collect prints of Mary with the baby Jesus.  I LOVE setting up the Creche every year.   Today is the day I place the small wooden stable in the pine branches on our Buffet in the Dining room.  I try to do so each December first.
