Ask yourself, "How has the celebration of Christmas changed during my lifetime?"

Then we'll talk about Mary's song in Luke 1:46-56.  It's also known as the 
Magnificat. If you have time to read it before class, think about whether the 
themes in Mary's song reflect your hopes at Christmas.  Do you know any 
Christmas carols that have the themes of her song in them?
