    About this ebook

    It's Christmas night, and Shep Davidson tells everyone he can about the extraordinary events he's witnessed, from the census of Davidsons in Bethlehem, to watching his flock by night, to a visitation by an angel, and finding the promised newborn Messiah lying in a feeding trough. 

    This short, simple, heartfelt monologue is laced with humor, wisdom, and a couple of Bible references.
