The 3 Wise Men were always part of my Mother's Nativity Scene, too. :-)<br /><br />D.G.:<br />Sam is wise except with his heart and who he loves! Meilori just glared at me.<br /><br />To have a day to cherish those we often have neglected is a needed holiday, isn't it?<br /><br />Donna:<br />Yes, children do make Christmas special, don't they? The rest of the year can turn us into Silas Marner, and Christmas melts our hearts again. :-)Roland D.

The magic is in their smiles and the excitement of getting something special.

Some traditions which connect us to those we don't see often should be kept. Christmas reminds us to try and keep in touch. <br /><br />'Sam' is wise. (at least in some things)D.G.

I know technically the Magi didn't show up till later. My wife collects Nativities and every single one of them have the Magi in it. The kids can learn the technicalities later. The important thing is that they learn that baby Jesus grew up and Lived and Died a Vicarious life for them.

For me, too, Christmas is the celebration of Christ coming to do what we could not do for ourselves. :-)Roland D.
