Excellent movie: The Nativity Story

Nativity picLoved this movie! A three-tear rating!

We went to see it this week at the theater, and the creators did an excellent job of telling an old story in a new way.

We’ve all heard the Christmas story a hundred times, but this was fresh and interesting. It helped to better understand the cultural issues at the time; I would have hated Rome too! What jerks!

But most of all, I loved the way the movie handled Joseph. It really brought depth to his role, and I just loved him.

Brett liked it too. We both found ourselves calling our mothers in the car ride afterwards, telling them both to go see it.

I encourage you too. It certainly put me in the Christmas spirit and reminded me just how blessed we are here and now.
