P. 3 Said Joseph, “Kind sir, is there room in the inn?
We’ve travelled so far, and my wife is done in.
Our baby is due any tick of the clock -
We’ve tried everywhere, but they’re all chocker block.”
“Oh no,” said the innkeeper, “all rooms are booked.

P.9 A couple of chickens, high up in the roof, heard the ruckus below, and abandoned their roost.
“Is there room for us here where the new baby rests?
Perhaps for a gift we can build him a nest.”
Then out of the corners came little things creeping across the place where the baby lay sleeping.
“Is there room of us little folk, here at the manger?
We want to come closer to welcome the stranger.”

P.10 And there in the stable there seemed to be room for a donkey, a goat, and a cow that went, “Moo” some shepherds and lambs (and an angel or two), three kings with their camels, six mice and two chooks, three spiders, two rats, who came for a look, and Joseph and Mary and Jesus.

P.11 Then out of the night came Patches, the cat.
He’d heard the good news when he stopped for a chat with the local rat catcher, a tomcat called Ralph, so he came to the stable to see for himself.

“I wonder, kind sir, if there’s room for another?
I’ll be very quiet, I won’t be a bother.
I’d like to see Jesus, the babe lying

    The book Christian’s at the Border by M. Daniel Carroll R. is about immigration and the views that people have on it with the influence of the church and the Bible. The purpose that Carroll wants to make with his book is for Christian’s to take a look at immigration thinking about it in a Christian perspective. Often, people take an ideological view on things, but do not take the time as Christian’s to view it in a Christian way and the way that the Bible states things. I am pretty sure that there will and are those that disagree with what Carroll states in his book. In the beginning of the book, he states “my intention is to try to move Christians to reconsider their starting point in the immigration debate” (Carroll, xxv). This is important because people are often confused or do not know how to approach the topic of immigration.…

    Chapter 6 is all based the strengthening of friendship between the characters of Caitlin and Bill and of Old bill and Billy. In the section Comfort Bill talks about how he hated school and didn’t have any friends. The repetition of the negative quotes in the section emphasises how Billy did not belong in his old environment. “I never talked to girls, I hardly talked to anyone. Sure, I answered questions from teachers and occasionally I’d talk to some guys I’d know for years. But I didn’t have any friends”. This links back to the harsh and abusive environment Billy grew up in, as stated in previous chapters.…

    Hey Virginia, there is more than just a Santa Claus. Nowadays, Americans have either forgotten or ignored Christmas traditions put in place over 1500 years ago. They would rather indulge in the gifts and shopping to please their family than sit back and enjoy the holiday. This new mindset has led Christmas, Hanukkah, and other seasonal festivals to lose their religious intent through the past centuries by the hands of both people and markets. The original purpose of Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, has been trampled and overshadowed by a marketeer’s interpretation of how to represent the holiday. Santa and snowmen have become the faces of Christmas, instead of the Son…

    The origins of “When the Saints” have never been fully explained in modern times. It was originally written as a Negro Spiritual hymn sometime near the beginning of the twentieth century. On written music, composers usually notate it as a traditional piece, but the identity of the original author remains up for debate. Some sources claim that the original lyrics of “When the Saints” were penned by Katherine Pervis and put to music by James Black in 1896, but many scholars today believe that Pervis and Black’s composition was a completely different piece of music due to it being titled “When the Saints Are Marching In”. Regardless, the original lyrics contain many spiritual references, particularly to heaven and the coming of God’s kingdom. In one of the verses, the author writes “Oh when the trumpet sounds its call, oh when the trumpet sounds its call, I want to be in that number, when the trumpet sounds its call,” which is a reference to a passage in the book of Revelations, located in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The passage describes the sounding of seven trumpets by angels of heaven. Each trumpet brings about a specific catastrophic event upon the world below, which is filled with those who were not taken in to heaven at the onset of the world’s end. Other references to things such as “…the moon turns red with blood...” and “…when the new world is revealed…” are tied in with the end of days described in Revelations, which the author describes a desire to avoid by being in heaven.…

    “Mankind is my business!” said the ghost of Jacob Marley. Error and redemption was a main theme expressed by Charles Dickens in A Christmas Carol. Through Scrooge, Charles Dickens portrayed the redemption of a miserly moneylender in an attempt to revive the Christmas Spirit. Through the Christmas Carol, Dickens clearly expressed the idea that humankind should be everyone’s business, and that those without the Christmas Spirit should recognize their errors and achieve redemption. In the Story, Ebenezer Scrooge transformed from an avaricious miser to a jolly elderly man after the visits of three phantoms, and was able to alter his ominous fate through his redemption.…

    My family is what some might consider “abnormal” or “weird”. Others would say that we are no fun sticks in the mud who need to get out more. The truth is, is that my family is a group of individuals who help each other live. We are so much alike, while at the same time being nothing alike that it brings us all closer. So the idea of a ritual or a rite of passage is foreign to me, none of us do the same things and all of our interests are completely opposite. That’s when I thought of the thing that everyone in my family does, we find ourselves.…

    Embarkation of the pilgrims is a painting by Robert W. Weir that was commissioned in 1836. It is a depiction of the Pilgrims before they depart from Holland for the New World. The artist is trying to get through a feeling of hope and that of adventure. The painting was painted and placed right after the Panic of 1837 started to fade from everyone’s mind and the country had started to heal. You can see the looks of hope and fear in the settler’s eyes as they prepare to depart on a harrowing voyage across the Atlantic. This hope is one that was starting to be felt by Americans that were affected by the crash in the market. There is even a rainbow off…
