What do you think of when the word Christmas is said? Presents, food, family, Cards, a cute little baby in a nice clean manger. I often think like that it has only been recently that my eyes have been opened to the state of that stabke Jesus would have been born in. If anyone else was born in that stable they would most likely died :(. The stable would of been full of Ox's and Donkey's who would of been to the toilet so their would be flies and stuff around him. So like on the card there wud be a buzz around him just not of light. Then there is the bodily fluids of mary (Who has just given birth) on the card she looks really awake and happy. I think if i had just had a baby i would want to sleep and being interupted all the time would annoy me. Christmas isn't really as cute and as cuddly as our society makes it out to be. It is about a child being born into poverty in a dirty stable laid in a manger which animals eat out of with no doctors or medicene just joeseph and a few animals. I hope you remember the people who are born in places just like jesus was even though our medical science knowledge is developing everyday. Have a good Christmas and remember our brothers and sisters all over the world at this time.
