===Opening===
 
Dear Michael and Mother Spirit, Merry Christmas! And for You especially, Michael, Happy Birthday! Though it seems, Michael, that Your real birthday was sometime in August of the year, perhaps it is very appropriate that a large part of the world - people of all religions and beliefs - celebrate Your birth and Your coming to us at this time of year, which is the end of one year and the beginning of another. For this, it seems, is one of your greatest gifts to us, this message that after we go through a kind of personal winter of death and hibernation, there comes then a glorious spring of rebirth. We look forward to meeting You face to face some day in that glorious spring. Amen.

Michael: Good evening, My children, this is Michael. I thank you for your heartfelt welcome and your celebration. What a joy it is for Me to feel the peoples of Urantia using this occasion to renew their relationships with each other. This is a wonderful occasion indeed when folks allow themselves to suspend their disbelief in things of a spiritual nature, let their hair down, so to speak, and greet each other as the true brothers and sisters of God’s family that they really are.

===Lesson===
 
This allows a certain profound truth of human being to be perceived and joyfully exchanged. It warms the heart and thrills the soul and whispers ever so lovingly, "This is what is possible. This is real" - this simple and profound joy of just being together. Taking time to simply enjoy each others’ company is really at the heart of the season.

===Dialogue===
 
Student: Dear Michael, I would like to get more insight on what it means to make a decision…ah, as like when You were - after Your baptism - You made decisions of record which, I would assume, would be the Personalized Thought Adjuster. Could You help us make firmer decisions with our Thought Adjusters?

Michael: You are welcome, My son. As you just now realized: it’s also a gift to others for us to sometimes - contain ourselves. And be in My peace.

===Closing===
 
This has been quite a Christmas Eve this evening. Every religion has, at it’s core, this worship, this thankfulness for God becoming human - our Father creating, in this enormous universe, a unique personality like no other, a gift to this new person of himself or herself, and a gift to the rest of us of another brother or sister. So let us celebrate with joy and thanksgiving that each of us, every single one, is such a child of God.
