Today is the day for Mary and Joseph to arrive at the stable, ready for the arrival of the baby on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.  This can be linked to the Gospel reading.

I wonder...

• What was it like for Joseph to hear that Mary was going to have a baby?
• What would it be like for Joseph to have an angel appear to him in a dream?
• What might the angel have been like?  How did Joseph know it was an angel?
