One night each year, following a flurry of celestial preparation, all the angels come together for a single purpose. It is a night of heavenly celebration, one that brings together the children of the world with the animals of the earth. It is a night filled with light. It is a night of feasting and music and dancing. And on this one night when the angels wander, if you listen quietly, you, too, may hear the angels sing, for it's Christmas Eve.
