Have you ever tried to start reading a book in the middle? How about walking into a movie theater in the middle of a feature film? If you want to make sense of the plot, the conversations, the characters, the decisions, and the reactions along the way, it’s better to start at the beginning.

In the same way, in order to truly appreciate and understand the story of Christmas, it’s helpful to start at the beginning – not with the shepherds, the wise men, the angels, the innkeeper, or even the manger. What will you discover if you go back to the beginning? You’ll find that Christmas is really all about a tree.
