If it were to happen today
When the star above so bright
How to ape those of yesterday
When scanned in an era of byte.

Great form you did well, it seems so odd these days that people believe in the Christmas star when the whole world knows Jesus was born in Oct.xx

How easy it is in today's world and era of byte to fool the believing into believing even stronger that the bright star is the Star of Bethlehem. Great Chastushka Harry. Happy Christmas to you and your family. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
