Summary: <p>It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...or so goes the song! From the music on the radio to the decorations in store windows, it's hard to miss the fact that Christmas is almost here. But what would it have been like for Mary and Joseph that very first Christmas? If we could somehow go back in time, what would the sights, sounds and smells of that first Christmas season have been like? We don't have a time machine here on <em>The Land and the Book</em>, but we have the next best thing…someone who has lived in the land of Israel and who knows it like the back of his own hand. We'll be talking with Todd Bolen about what it would have been like for Mary and Joseph that first Christmas season.</p><p>Then, in our devotional time together, we'll continue our study of Matthew's "Five Golden Rings" by exploring the fourth woman included in his genealogy of Jesus…Bathsheba, the unnamed woman!</p>
