Favorite Christmas Verse?

Just out of curiosity… does anyone have a favorite Scripture passage about Christmas?

This Christmas season, I find myself kind of partial to Luke 2:11-12:

11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.

Maybe it’s just that I have three kids, and that I’ve held each of them many many hours while they were infants, but there’s just something very real to me envisioning the newborn Savior, Jesus. Lying there in a manger or being held by Mary… the tiny, sweet, innocent, and perfect Christ-child. Born to save the world, Jesus, our precious gift from God… there with all His earthly life ahead of Him.

I don’t know what it is about the image I have in my head as I read the passage, nor can I really put it into words… it’s just, well… Christmas. Perfect as God intends.

How about you? What passage or verse sticks out in your mind as you consider Christmas? Why is it so special to you?
