“And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men.’

Merry Christmas from The ALPS!
