It also shows us that many of the things that are prized in our modern world are not necessarily vital to our well being.Baboushka was too old and frail to cut logs of wood to start a fire that would have otherwise kept her warm. They sat down at the table to eat, and the men told Babushka of the joyous birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, about to occur.
