Pete needs to check his scripture again. Not a refugee and literally came into the world while his parents were meeting their obligation to show up at Joseph’s ancestral village for the census, according to Luke.

Today I join millions around the world in celebrating the arrival of divinity on earth, who came into this world not in riches but in poverty, not as a citizen but as a refugee.

No matter where or how we celebrate, merry Christmas.
