Bemused Amusements

If you think about it, Christmas isn't that big a deal. We should be celebrating 9 months before Christmas, since the birth became inevitable at the point of conception. This isn't a pro-life statement, just a recognition of the fact that Mary wasn't going to seek an abortion clinic and wasn't likely to miscarry. She had free will to make the decision, the deal was done, and the rest was just process.
When you think it, the real miracle was that a teenage girl actually went along with the wishes of an authority figure. Now there's a real miracle -- no wonder hell froze over at that moment.
