The Unforgettable Christmas because people come and see.
The Good - Anna -
There was also a prophet, Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem. —Luke 2:26-38
The “Bad” - Magi -
Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? —Matthew 2:1b,2
The Ugly - Shepherds -
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” —Luke 2:15b
