Baby Jesus lives in a cave


Southern Vietnam has surprised me in two ways. First of all, Southern Vietnam has a surprisingly large number of Christian Churches. This means that there are Christmas lights and nativity scenes everywhere along with dancing electronic Santas playing the saxophone. Unlike, nativity scenes back home, the Vietnamese baby Jesus was born in the cave of a large, rugged silver mountain. Who knew? Maybe we had it wrong all these years.
