A resounding “YES” to your question about seeing the nativity stories as parables. That so opens up my mind and heart to the message rather than getting distracted by the “how did that happen?” questions. Thank you for helping me learn how to see them in a more meaningful way.
You made my day! That's exactly the point that Borg and Crossan present in their book. Many people can never get beyond the fact-or-fable dilemma, as if those were the only possible ways to read the stories. Why not give Luke and Matthew credit for following Jesus' example of engaging his audiences with parables?

Thank you for sharing the claymation of “Christmas Dinner.” It opened my eyes and hearts to new layers of meaning to that song.
