The danger of doubting the nativity story is twofold at the least: that we will miss the child in Christ, and that we will miss Christ in the child.
Children who place the figure of the Christ Child in the manager at Christmas are forever rooted in truth and wonder. Later recollections recapture this treasured moment and awaken one's heart to the beauty of belief.

Thank you for reminding me of "..the Child...", and not the political-adult.
Thank you for reminding me of our "..Herod-Heartedness.."
That's the most accurate depiction of Original Sin I've ever encountered.
When I die I want to go to Heaven,
The Lord has got a mansion for me there,
Filled with every kind of wonder,
Everything that’s good and true and fair.
But one thing that the Lord has made real clear,
Unless we become as little children,
His Kingdom and its glory we’ll not share.
Lord, stay with me a while,
Sweet Jesus help me to go that extra mile,
Take away from me all that defiles,
And give mr the heart,
The heart of a little child.
