Leading up to the very first Christmas, the two parents at the center of the nativity, Mary and Joseph, both faced real obstacles that could have caused them to miss what God was doing in their midst. Yet, despite the challenges, they both made crucial choices—the same choices we must make today if we want to stay focused on what truly matters this Christmas.
