Imagine ~ In Which Christmas Do You Believe?

Imagine.  Tonight a big, fat Santa is going to deliver toys to boys and girls all over the world before the sun rises.  He's going to do it while riding a flying sleigh pulled by eight reindeer, one with a glowing red nose.

Imagine.  Tonight Joseph and a very pregnant Mary are finishing their journey to Bethlehem.  They're going to welcome their first-born in a barn, visited by shepherds and angels.  Tonight the Son of God is preparing to make His journey into a world that will joyfully greet Him and eventually reject Him.

Imagine.  It's a choice to believe.  Both Christmas stories sound magical and a bit unreal.  One, however, is not.
