Why have so many people imagined it occurring "in the bleak midwinter," for that matter, when taxes were collected in autumn and the Bible tells us the sheep and shepherds were still sleeping out in the field? Then there's the way "Do You Hear What I Hear" skips through a couple of centuries, past the biblical King Herod and whole dynasties of Roman Emperors...<br /><br />There's nothing historically accurate about Christmas as we know it. I grew up thinking there was nothing Christian about it, but the value of collecting for urban missions in late autumn and early winter has converted me.Priscilla Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564805564265436613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646211960944547995.post-4938389868351711422016-12-06T03:38:04.306-05:002016-12-06T03:38:04.306-05:00I have not heard of that one.
