(Madonna and Child. Book of Kells, Ireland, circa A.D. 800. Source)
"Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manager.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill towards men!" - Luke 2: 10-14
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Price of Peace." - Isaiah 9:6

Merry Christmas, TB. While I can't offer much in the way of spiritual words - they would sound awfully hollow from me, in any case - I can at least offer up a song: "Gabriel's Message" by Jars of Clay, if you are not familiar with it.
