God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Displaying a Christmas nativity scene is a long-standing tradition, but it can also present a bit of a skewed view of the actual events of Jesus’ birth. While each person depicted in a traditional nativity scene is a part of the Christmas story, not all the characters were present in one place on the night Jesus was born. Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were in a stable that night due to the overcrowding in Bethlehem’s inn (Luke 2:7), but the Bible never mentions whether or not animals were present—in fact, it never even mentions a stable. The shepherds, once told of Jesus’ arrival, left their flocks to worship the newborn King (Luke 2:16). However, the angels, which are often part of nativity scenes, bore the good news to the shepherds in the fields (Luke 2:8–14). As far as we know, there were no angels flying visibly over the place where Jesus was when the shepherds arrived. In addition, the wise men (the Bible never says how many there were) were also probably not present that first night. The magi visited Jesus some time later, when He was in a house (Matthew 2:1–11).

Taken from "A Taste of Switzerland" by Sue Style.
Dr. Bircher-Benner's original Birchermu"esli contained only oats, water,
lemon juice, condensed milk, fruit and nuts.  Nowadays, more dairy products
are added; sometimes even huge swirls of cream are piped on top--which must
somewhat upset the balance good doctor was striving for.  It is a highly
nutritious calorie bomb, not so much a breakfast dish as a meal in itself,
and is often enjoyed for lunch or supper with good bread and a glass of
milk.
Stir together all the ingredients and let the Birchermu"esli stand for
about 15 minutes.  Other fresh fruit may be added if wished.
The packaged mix consists mostly of rolled oats, with some dried fruits,
raisins, and grated nuts.  It may or may not be sweetened with a little
brown sugar.
If you live in Southern California, Trader Joe's is a good source.
