Seens weird to think of colored lights and Christmas trees in Bethlehem...

[FONT=Georgia, Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif]The colored strings of lights are now decorating its streets. As you drive past homes you now see Christmas trees proudly placed in front of windows so that all may see. Manger Street is full of traffic at night but no one is complaining for everyone is waiting their turn to receive candy from one [Continued][/FONT]

I think the lights would be beautiful!

Micah - I once spent November in Australia. They were just putting out their Christmas decorations. Imagine, if you will, kangaroos in Santa suits and koalas gathered around the manger. It was really charming. I bought gift wrap and gift cards and still have some somewhere in the house 20 years later!

I actually weep when I think of how the Children of Bethlehem will celebrate this Christmas.

I imagine Christian children in Bethlehem will have a problem celebrating Christmas.
