Mary has stage fright. Joseph forgot his lines. Two of the three wise men are fighting over who gets to hold the frankincense. The narrator just discovered the script references a PowerPoint slide that hasn't existed since 2003. This is the Christmas story — just not the version anyone planned. And somehow, that makes it the most real version of all.
Theme — He came into a real mess for real people, and that has not changed.
