~Merry Christmas from the Suppan family - Austria

Dear friends and family, We would like to extend our warmest  Christmas Greetings to you and your loved ones, and hope you will be able to spend  many enjoyable hours with those close to  you! The Suppan Family, Austria Bernhard & Shelley, Joshua & Lela, Savannah The Christmas Story as told by Luke In those days it occurred that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole  Roman empire should be registered. This was the first enrollment, and it was made when  Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all the people were going to be registered, each to  his own city or town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to  Judea, to the town of David, which is called  Bethlehem, because he was of the house and  family of David, To be enrolled with Mary, his  espoused (married) wife, who was about to  become a mother. And while they were there, the time came for her delivery, And she gave birth to her Son, her Firstborn; and she  wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid  Him in a manger, because there was no room or place for them in the inn. And in that vicinity there were shepherds  living [out under the open sky] in the field,  watching [in shifts] over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by  them, and the glory of the Lord flashed and  shone all about them, and they were terribly frightened. But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people. For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ (the Messiah) the Lord! And this will be a sign for you [by which you  will recognize Him]: you will find [after search- ing] a Baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. Then suddenly there appear- ed with the angel an army of the troops of  heaven (a heavenly knighthood), praising God  and saying, Glory to God in the highest  [heaven], and on earth peace among men with whom He is well pleased [men of goodwill, of  His favor]. When the angels went away from  them into heaven, the shepherds said one to  another, Let us go over to Bethlehem and see  this thing (saying) that has come to pass,  which the Lord has made known to us. So they went with haste and [by searching] found Mary and Joseph, and the Baby lying in a manger.  And when they saw it, they made known what had been told them concerning this Child, And all who heard it were astounded and marveled at what the shepherds told them. But Mary was keeping within herself all these things (say- ings), weighing and pondering them in her  heart. And the shepherds returned, glorify- ing and praising God for all the things they  had heard and seen, just as it had been told them. Luke 2:1-20 (Amplified Bible)
