The angels told the shepherds to not be afraid, and they told them that Jesus was going to be born in Bethlehem.  The angels were praising God and giving glory to him for Jesus.  The angels told the shepherds to go and see this thing that has happened and to tell others of the good news.  Focusing on the angels helps me grow in my faith because they remind me that I need to praise Jesus more.  Also, it helps to make Christmas more meaningful because Christmas is a time to celebrate Jesus’ birth, just like the angels did.
