Everyone else is doing it, so why can't I?

'Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into
Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of
the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed
wife, who was with child. So it was, that while there were there, the days
were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn
Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger, because
there was no room for them in the inn.
Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields,
keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold an angel of the Lord
stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they
were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for
behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a saviour, who is
Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe
wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger."
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God and saying:
"Glory to God in the highest.
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"

-Luke 2:4-14'

Merry Christmas everyone.
Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, and I believe this is the -true-
Christmas story. What it's all about.
May God bless you all (and your clarinets!) this Christmas and in the
following year.
Happy Playing!
