The Sounds and Smells of Christmas

Would a king be born in a dark, moldy cave, surrounded by smelly animals? Would shabby, dirty people be allowed near a king? Only a king who loves His people, young or old, pretty or ugly, rich or poor. Enter the stable and experience the real sounds and smells of the Nativity and discover that Jesus didn’t come to sit on a fancy throne. He came to be with ordinary people like me.
