I think the first Christmas shared this spirit, albeit, being a little different in appearance. It was a holy and special gathering. Who was there? Mary, a teen virgin giving birth for the first time, Joseph, a poor carpenter called to be the one to protect a family.

When we meet this year, we will be celebrating an anniversary, the 800th anniversary of the first Christmas live celebration at Greccio, Italy. Remember it was the time Francis brought together the village and the animals and enacted the first Christmas. The people came together and celebrated.
