The older I get, the harder it seems to get Christmas right.  It’s “complicated” to sort through all the moving parts and expectations of others. While I can’t manage it well, or just won’t, I can at any given time pause to remember what this sacred season is all about. Join me, the author of The Mystery of History, for a short reflection on Immanuel, which means “God with us.”

I also have a historical re-enactment video of myself dressed up like Cleopatra—because she has an interesting connection to Bethlehem! I won't give it away here, but you can watch through the YouTube link provided below.
