Obviously so obsessed with certain great numbers that they have forgotten "where two or three are gathered together in my name..."

Poet laureate Sir John Betjamin says it best:

And is it true--this most tremendous tale of all
Seen is a stain glass window’s hue
A baby, in a cattle stall, the maker of the stars and sea
Become a child on earth, for me?

And is it true? For if it is,
No love that in a family dwells, no caroling in frosty air
Can with this single truth compare:
That God was man in Palestine
And lives today in Bread and Wine.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Neat verse!

[Charles Henrickson]

John Betjeman's "Christmas" (which you excerpted) is one of my favorite poems. Thank you.
