When I was 7 or 8, I saw my first Christmas story at Holly public school near Barrie Ontario. While Christ's birth was an interesting story in itself, it was the carols that seem to bring the play to life. It's as if we were all there in Bethlehem 2000 years ago.

All Good Christmas music, right up to "The Christmas Shoes" seems to evoke a real emotional event. Indeed, it seems that memory can be stimulated by compelling lyrics and melodies. What do you think?
The Christmas Shoes

The first heaven of Jesus Christ was created from the hopes of dreams of children. Children have an incredible perception of a world where peace, magic and Santa Claus exists. To an adult population, this intuitive sense of an eternal reality is trivialized as mere fantasy. Yet the Christmas traditions of gifts, lights, carols and magical elves endure like none other.

The desire of most of us is to create a world where "Peace On Earth And Good Will Towards Man", actually exists. That place isn't present time Earth but it's the first heaven of Christ. We contact some part of it at Christmas time each year.
