The Christmas Story still intrigues me after all these years and all these retellings. No one could have, or at least would have, made up such a wild story.
Consider some of the KEY aspects:
Special note: Every detail of these events was foretold in the ancient Jewish Scriptures. What are the odds? Astronomical, astronomical.

Consider some of the KEY aspects:
- An obscure young gal, from an obscure city is selected to be the mother of G^d on earth
- Her cousin, at quite an advanced age, also conceives just a bit earlier
- The older cousin's "womb leaps" at the first encounter w Jesus in the womb.
- Just by coincidence (not) the young lady,despite her advanced pregnancy, and her bethrothed are governmentally mandated (unfunded mandate) to travel to an obscure village known as Bethlehem
- In the crudest of accomdations, with no more fanfare than singing angels, the baby is born
- Magi are notified and appear, bringing gifts.
