The First Night Before Christmas

By: Don Sansone

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Have you ever wondered... ...what the shepherds were doing and thinking, just before the angels appeared to them? Did they see the star over Bethlehem too? Was God preparing the hearts of the innkeepers that night, the ones who allowed Mary and Joseph the use of their stable? What about Elizabeth and Zachariah, the parents of John the Baptist? They knew that the child who was to be born to Mary was the Messiah. Were they watching for a sign? Simon Peter would have been alive at the time. Could God have touched a young boy's heart that night to prepare him for his earthly mission? The First Night Before Christmas is a collection of imaginative stories involving real biblical characters who played important roles in the Christmas Story. Let your imagination guide you into a deeper awareness of the Incarnation during Advent by reflecting on what the biblical characters may have been thinking and doing on that heavenly night... "And may your Christmas be as blessed As that first Christmas night."
