I’m sure you’re aware of some creative and fun ideas on the internet at Christmas.

I thought the video I’m featuring today put a real human face on the Christmas story (see above).  Last year’s featured YouTube video of the Nativity was a clever rendition of how Mary and Joseph might have used social media.

Christmas in 140 Characters

The Natwivity begins December 1st.   Follow on Facebook and/or Twitter as the Christmas story unfolds with Tweets from Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds, the Wisemen, Herod, an Inn Keeper, and others.

Joel and Miriam, the host and hostess, had owned a liquor store before retiring and had a large bar for their guests. We had built a relationship over several years with Joel and Miriam and were honored to be invited to Miriam’s 80th birthday party.

Kris and I made our way from the smoky living room to the dining room. We met a man dressed completely in simple black sitting at the dining room table who stood out from the other party-goers.
