A virgin is pregnant?
She travels 200 miles just for a census?
God provides a star but neither a room nor a simple bed?
The only visitors are shepherds from the field and completely strangers from a foreign land?
Myrrh, which is for dead people, is presented as a gift for the baby?
The story is so surreal that angels have to intervene 3 times. And all these are supposed to bring joy and peace to the whole world?
Yet the oddest thing of all is how the story has transformed individual lives throughout the ages, across all cultures and centuries, and will continue to do so. Just how odd can this be?
