Good News from Bethlehem: Drumming Scouts and SRO in the Church of the Nativity

"Hundreds pack Bethlehem Midnight Mass"
CNN (December 24, 2008)

"BETHLEHEM, West Bank (CNN) -- Hundreds of Christians packed the Church of the Nativity Thursday for a midnight mass in what is thought to be the birthplace of Jesus Christ.

"The standing-room-only service was marked with singing and organ playing.

"There were also large crowds outside the church that is one of the most sacred places in Christianity..."

"...Before the midnight mass, Palestinian scout groups representing Christians throughout the West Bank did as they always do on this day -- they marched, banging their drums loudly...."

Good news from Bethlehem. I was glad to read that. And now, at the risk of offending someone, Merry Christmas!
