One thing we do not associate with Christmas is mourning. We do our best to exclude mourning from the celebration of Christmas because mourning and Christmas are like oil and water; they do not mix.

IV Finally, why does Matthew r_______ the happiness of the Christmas story by telling us about this terrible m________?
