We've arrived at Bethlehem, having followed the Star in our hearts, and we have found the Messiah, Emmanuel, the Christ, Baby Jesus!
​
Glory to God! And peace to men of goodwill.
​
There are as many Christmas traditions as there are families, and your family is unique!
​
Some simple and especially Christian traditions for celebrating Christmas include attending Mass (a universal holy day of obligation) and setting Jesus in the nativity scene in your home.
​
Some families might put the Magi on display some distance from the manger display, in anticipation of the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6). 
​
You might sing "Happy Birthday, Jesus" around your Advent wreath and light the middle white candle (if you have one).
​
However you mark this wonderful Solemnity, may the Lord bless you and your loves ones.
