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).

INSTRUCTIONS

Glycol Punchhas two primary ingredients: Diet Mountain Dew, which has an
decidedly evil odd yellow glow to it. Diet is necessary so that you don't
over sugar people.  BTW, we also tried other sodas, including Squirt, 7-up
and Sprite, but none had that evil yellowness.
A flourescent blue liquid. I know for a fact that the raspberry "little
hugs" drinks for kids are the perfect color.  There is a recent Kool-Aid
blue flavor that I'm sure would work well, too.
For the "little hugs" the ratio is about 4-5 barrels to 1 2-liter bottle of
soda.  Adjust as you think best.  I'd start by pouring out the soda and
adding the blue.  You know you've got it right when you get the sickly
yellow-green of many Glycol-based Antifreezes.  Plus, when you drink, it
fizzes!
