Every Christmas, we hear the same story. A young couple travels to pay taxes. A virgin girl and her fiancé found no room to rest. Their baby is laid in a manger. Have you ever thought about Mary, the mother of Jesus? Her story is amazing. We could learn about her life.

One of the things I enjoy most about Christmas are the old movies that help put me in the seasonal spirit. And though there are many I like, my all time favorite is Holiday Inn, starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. The best part about the film is the music, composed by Irving Berlin.

As anyone close to me will tell you, I root for my family and friends as much if not more than I root for my favorite sports teams. Through successes and failures, I am their biggest supporter and try to be their biggest cheerleader.
