I was out doing some last minute Christmas shopping, when I passed a young man and young woman who also were doing some window shopping.
They had stopped to look at the multiple creches that were filling the department store window. The young man and woman were talking in low quiet tones about the scene in the windows.
She: What's are these things?
He: These are called creches or mangers.
She:I've seen these before but I never knew what they were.
He: The are brought out every Christmas so as to help us remember the purpose of the holiday season.
She: Why? Was somebody born in a barn? I thought that we gave gifts because it was a custom at this time of the year.
He: No, we give gifts because of the baby born in the barn, who claimed to be the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.
She: Is that Mrs. Christ and Mr. Christ taking care of the baby then?
He: Havn't you ever heard of the Christmas story in the Bible?
She:No, where did you hear of it?
I had personal expersonal of this one.
