‘Do You Think This Is Him?’ Asks Shepherd Pointing To Baby With Glowing Halo

BETHLEHEM — Shepherds began to believe they may have found the Christ child after discovering a baby with a glowing halo hovering above its head.

“Hey, do you think that might be the child the angel was talking about?” asked local shepherd Levi Benashur, motioning toward a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger, and crowned with a blindingly glorious halo of light.

“Hmm, that is a pretty radiant halo,” responded fellow shepherd Asher. “And it’s just, like, hanging there in mid-air. Could be the one, I suppose.”

Joseph, whose wife bore the child and laid him in a manger, also reportedly felt that the halo was a good sign. “It’s pretty reassuring to see the halo, I’ll be honest,” said Joseph. “I really did believe the angel about the virgin birth and all, but still. The supernatural glow does help make it a bit clearer. The giant, immovable star blazing directly over our little cave stable is also probably a good sign.”

At publishing time, Mary had reported being in severe pain after pushing out a baby carrying a halo over his head.
