Once upon a time in Bethlehem,
Mary and her husband Joseph were
searching for a place to shelter them
so a baby could be born to her.
Once upon a time in Bethlehem,
Mary gave birth to an infant son,
born to save mankind and die for them;
the story of Jesus had begun.
Once upon a time in Bethlehem;
three wise kings who’d travelled from afar
brought gold, myrrh and frankincense with them
guided to the infant by a star.
Once upon a time in Bethlehem,
shepherds watched over their flocks by night;
an angel appeared to summon them,
“Come adore the newborn Jesus Christ!”

Very well journalised for a non-believer. That's the story isn't it? ;)

Well, I grew up in a Christian country (I mean the U.K.) and went to Christian schools (first a catholic school, then a protestant one) was forced to sit through daily religious themed school assembly's, sing hymns, pretend to pray, attend church at Christmas and Easter so a lot of it rubbed off on me.
Plus my mother is a lapsed Roman Catholic, although she never forced her religion on me. My father was an atheist (although born a Hindu).
BTW, thanks Pia for your comment. I'm glad you felt it to be well journalised.
