CHRISTMAS CARTOONS on The Birth of Jesus

God's Plan to Save the World

was the buzz around the Coffee Maker in Heaven a little over 2000 years ago. Jesus, the son of God, was born of a virgin in a barn, raised by a carpenter, and as a man, is the friend of tax collectors & fishermen. This man, Jesus, will be the savior of our world. <pause>
GET OUT OF TOWN!

This plan was both original and ingenious, and captured with Christmas Cartoons from The Back Pew!

That First Christmas Night (Luke 2)

So Mary & Joseph traveled to Bethlehem while just out of earshot, Betsy nagged her husband Betty about reservations, leaving the night for Harry neither SILENT nor HOLY.

Meanwhile, Joseph and Mary arrived in Bethlehem, but there was no room at the Inn, so Jesus was born in a stable and laid in a manger.

The birth of Jesus was announced by white-collar (and robed) Heavenly Angels to smelly, truly blue-collar shepherds. On (this indeed) Holy Night, these shepherds and angels rubbing elbows were the perfect Christmas Odd Couple.

ANGELS

Note: There was an extensive tryout before the Realms of Glory Choir and the Angel to announce Jesus' birth.

SHEPHERDS

In stark contrast to the Realms of Glory Choir, one shepherd sang 'Go Smell it on the Mountain.' Later, this was revised to become the more popular Gospel Classic, 'Go Tell it on the Mountain.'

Even the sheep could not help but take notice of Jesus' birth, crying out the birthplace of Jesus, "BAAAAthehem," while others copped an attitude crying, "BAAA-humbug!"

THREE WISE MEN

And let's remember the Three Wise Men bearing gifts and traveling so far following the stars to the baby Jesus. They were absent that first Christmas night, but what Nativity set would be complete without them?

Below, find a few possible Wise Men outtakes.

So what we need now is more Christmas Cartoons

It was a starry night, a Holy Night, in the Little Town of Bethlehem, where we found Harold the Angel singing Hark! and Gloria in Excelsis Deo (her hometown). The Drummer Boy drummed, and for this one night, a stable was the birthplace of a king.

The perfection of that first Christmas Night, when the Son of God was born to a world that needed (and still does) a savior, is not a story that any 24/7 news channels could ever grasp, but precisely the story the world needs to know.
