Christmas Begins with ChristSample

Isn't it ironic - the most important birth in the history of Planet Earth and there's no room for it to take place? The long-awaited Messiah is born in a shed on the back of a pub. No-one seems disappointed though - the baby himself outshines the worst of circumstances. God's presence can turn a hovel into a palace.
