AND I WISH EVERYONE A VERY MERRY TOTALLY RELIGIOUS CHRISTMAS! But I wont be offended if you get offended and choose to not accept my sincerest wishes. If you are offended that's on you, cupcake. LOL Feel free to dismiss my glad tidings of good cheer!
Tonight I watched this new version of the story tonight with the family. Its a mashup of two shorts: The Shepherd and The Messenger from the folks that make The Chosen series.
The Shepherd is the story of Jesus' birth from the perspective of the Shepherds. (and considered the pilot for The Chosen)
The Messenger is the story of Jesus' birth from Mary and Joseph's view.
In this new version they edited the two shows together fantastically to interweave the two stories.
(Skip to 31:00 for the actual episode. it ends at 1:17:15)
A young mother labeled “impure.” A shepherd boy considered “unclean.” Experience Jesus’ birth through their eyes as Christmas with The Chosen: Holy Night blends

If you arent sure and just want to watch the The Shepherd 20 minute short, give this a whirl. It is awesome and I have lost track how many times I've watched it. And I'd watch it again in a heartbeat. It's that good.
Oh, and if you have other views, I sincerely hope you have a wonderful holiday, whatever your beliefs. Even if it is just the fat guy in red.
