Busy day with Christmas topics on radio and webinar shows.

1)  It starts with my webinar with Teresa Tomeo at 11 AM Eastern. It is entitled “O Little Town of Bethlehem: A Spiritual and Biblical Journey to the Birthplace of Christ.” Since this webinar is now over, you can listen to the whole thing here or here with all the slide show presentation.

3)  Catholic Answers Live will be at 6:00 PM Eastern today (Wednesday) with a show entitled: “Characters of the Nativity.” I promised to post a link to my article about the manner in which Jesus was born entitled “Miraculous Birth?  You can read it here.
