Two thousand years ago a child was born to a young carpenter and his new wife. They had traveled to the city of his fathers to pay taxes but there was no room in the inn so she gave birth in a manger. A barn. They are actually pretty warm due to the body heat of the animals, and many farmers keep their barns cleaner than their houses, so it actually probably wasn’t that dirty even. There was probably help from local nursemaids as well. It was still not the most enjoyable way to have a baby though. That boy would grow up and die and a religion based on him would spread throughout the world. We celebrate the Christ Mass in memory of his birth on the 25th of December, and we call for Peace on Earth and Good Will Towards Men. Merry Christmas to you all.
