Margot Käßmann tells the Biblical Christmas story in modern language. Empathetic, touching and easily understandable. Joseph is not an old, grey-haired man but the lovable young partner of Mary. He worries about her making the long journey to Bethlehem while she is heavily pregnant. And after the birth, they both lie in the stable directly next to the cradle with Jesus their son. He is the son of God, of course. But he was fully human - and his parents were too. Told in this way, every child understands what it is about because they can relate the story to their own lives because they know how lovely it is when mummy and daddy love you.
