Nice, I thought I was gonna be the first to answer correctly. It also doesn't say that they saw him right after the birth if I remember correctly?

Yes, they did not see him to he was a small child, perhaps 2-3 years old.

I forgot, to thank everyone for all I have learn by reading this forum and the friends I have made along the way. Merry Christmas to everyone and I wish the New Year brings happiness to everyone not just with coins, but with the family.

Merry Christmas to all! And to the follow the tune of the post above - many thanks to the patient forum members here that welcome all of us newbies into the hobby!

Good job everyone! Gotta preface all this by saying it's not central to the story... BUT... I think it's hilarious that the song "We Three Kings" is so far off-base. There is no mention of there being a specific number of them, just the three types of gifts (which all bear great symbolic significance). And they most certainly were not kings either, they were magi, meaning wise men or star watchers. And they weren't at the nativity scene until as much as 2 years after Jesus' birth. Matthew 2:11 says "on coming to the HOUSE, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him." So at this point, he was no longer at the place where he was born, he was in their house.

But to me, the most important part is just this: When they met him, they worshiped him. Same thing with the shepherds. Same thing with the many many hurting, lost, and broken people he encountered. That's what I celebrate.

Merry Christmas!

ATTABOY JOE!!! Merry Christmas all and good night

Anyone care to tell the churches that they have the nativity scene all wrong? If I ever come across a pastor I'll have to remember to ask them why they always do the nativity scenes wrong... I mean is it really that hard to do it atleast a little accurate?

Merry Christmas ! ! ! ! !

Merry Christmas to everyone.

I got kicked out of the room while my 6 year old gathers my gifts.

My church doesn't do one but, yes, it bothers me when I see a very inaccurate manger scene also.

Merry Christmas to one and all. Please see the thread I started in the Member's Only Section several days ago with a picture of a Christmas card I made and posted for all of you to enjoy.

Wishes for a Happy, Healthy Prosperous New Year too!!!
