COSHOCTON – Everyone has visions of a perfect Christmas with just the right decorations and gifts, a fresh blanket of snow on the ground and family that never fights. However, Pastor Ashley McMillin reminded people that the first Christmas was not like this. “The first Christmas was not picture perfect,” she said. “Mary and Joseph had no family take them in and she went through all that pain and gave birth in a stinky stable. There was a beautiful light though in a form of a star that turned eyes toward Bethlehem. Christmas is perfect when love is shared and we remember God’s gift of Jesus Christ.” McMillin, pastor at Nellie Chapel United Methodist Church, was the speaker at the Warsaw Candlelight
