Christmas Stories


For over 25 years I have read a story in place of giving a Christmas homily.  Most people enjoy this but sometimes I get criticized as well.  I am not sure if it's true or not but a parishioner in my former parish swears that she heard a man sitting behind her in church say in a stage whisper:  "What is it with this guy? Every time I come to Church he reads a story." (Remember I only do this at Christmas....get it?)   I have not yet chosen a story for this year.  I better get going.  Any suggestions?
