fantastic does that sound coffee by the christmas tree. >> griff: if you can kids, it is not quiet. >> carley: maybe sleeping in and about to get real loud in a couple minutes. >> kevin: sitting up in the hotel, so many people out there. they are still bustling and shopping and moving about. even this morning as i was getting yesterday for work and walking over, i saw people still outside just psyched for the day. wonderful. >> carley: totally. you are staying in midtown, right? >> kevin: yes, um-huh. >> carley: really crowded in midtown where i live. more residential. totally dead, which i love. everybody is at home with grandma and grandpa, family members. they are out of the city. so, that's another thing about christmas that i love is there is no more traffic. >> griff: people are back and shopping. and i was joking filling none the weekend for "fox & friends." each day we were talking about i procrastinated not buying gifts. rally shut down fifth avenue.

so i'm going to get deals tomorrow. >> carley: okay. all right. you mentioned shopping for christmas. sometimes that you do can be so long. you are shopping for family, friends, co-workers, and you forget about the real reason for christmas. we wanted to start the show this morning by reading one of the most beautiful passages in the bible. about the birth of jesus christ. >> kevin: this is so special. i hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed it. practicing and thinking and meditating on it. this is about the birth of jesus: do not be afraid. i bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. today, in the town of david, a ssavior has been born to you. is he a the messiah, the lord. ythis will be a sign to you. you will find a baby wrapped in clothes and lying in a manger. they when they saw him they spread the world.

this child, told about this child and all who heard it are were amazed at what the shepard said to them. but mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. the shepherd returned glorifying and praising god for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. >> carley: how beautiful is that. i was watching a video this morning getting ready for work. putting my makeup on at 2:30 in the morning. i was watching a video to center myself and remind myself about the reason for the season. the reason is the birth of jesus christ. and in the video the person narrating it said i thought it was so powerful a powerful phrase incapsulates. in a moment the world was transformed by the arrival of humanity's savior who would of course go on to die because of our sins. because we condemned him to death. he called himself the king of

the jews and the king of the jews did not like that. he saved us from our sins on what started what we now call christmas day. >> griff: having been on the couch on christmas day. honor to fill in. you and i were together. and this year too, kevin. i have made a tradition of going over to sa saint patrick's cathedral a block away on saint patrick. take in mass there at midnight. timothy cardinal dolan was doing the big one. couldn't go that one the few hours of sleep we get of sleep so we're awake on the couch. cardinal dolan did do a message for our viewers on fox. he spoke directly to our viewers this year. here's what his message was. >> hi, everybody, and a blessed christmas. cardinal timothy dolan. i prevent the opportunity to walk down the block from saint patrick's cathedral. it's an honor and joy for me to actually be in the living rooms and kitchens and homes of america's family. this is a day where families are

together. where people are smiling. where people are hugging. where people are giving gifts. >> this is a day where everybody, deep down, i think this is the way it's supposed to be all the time. this is the way god intended it. and if we can -- if we can kind of use this christmas day to call us back to the divine intention. to remember what god wants for us, his design, his plan, it's going to be a great christmas. a blessed one to all of you. >> carley: we love cardinal dolan on this couch and people around the world love him as well. when he recorded the message he talked about the importance of midnight mass and why it is celebrated. darkest part of night before the dawn. which is a symbolization of what christmas really means. why is christmas december 25th? it's usually the darkest time of year. and then christmas happens and then there is light. >> kevin: i love that i have had a chance to go to that midnight

mass before. energizes you. we had to sleep last night for those of you. if you are up this early you should be sleeping. to say if you are up this early and went to midnight mass, good four. >> griff: steal my message from another pastor and theologian max. let's be donkeys. mary, joseph, that humble donkey expects nothing. goes to the night through the manger, delivers jesus, does his part, toils through the journey. asks for nothing. stands aside. his job was to carry the king and savior. he in his op-ed says maybe we should all just continue to be donkeys, toil under our struggles, expect nothing, and could it for the greater good of the glofertion of jesus christ. and i think that's a message that, you know, we can also sort of think about this christmas. and my level. my skill set, being a donkey is

exactly right. good for me. >> carley: i love that message though. not about -- some people especially with social media it's always about the look at me moment. and it's about, you know, celebrating yourself and the celebrity of it all. but let's all be conkeys. do the work for the greater good of humanity without the celebration associated with it. that's wonderful, wonderfully said. >> kevin: well said, my friend. don't go away. we have so much coming up this hour and for seller hours on the couch. coming up next, a fox weather alert. christmas blizzard hitting the midwest. canceling and delaying flights. adam klotz has the forecast and update on any travel chaos that might be happening out there. >> carley: you are going to love this story. best friends reunited in time for the holidays. air force staff sergeant and former military dog will be together this christmas for the first time in two years. they will both join us to share their feel-good story. >> griff: that is the story of the day. but, fresh osprey his busy

that i had, who had recommended them. and they were gracious enough to float the bill and pay for him to return to me. and that was just a true blessing for us. >> kevin: i'm partial to john. i grew up with lady, a german shepherd. i think it's a beautiful dog. so loyal, so smart. if there is one thing you want the folks at home to know about john, what would that be? >> just about how selfless he is. he served 10 years, almost 10 years of his life to be able to serve this country. and he did it with, i mean, as much as you can see a smile on his face. and all the energy in the world. and so he j just deserves this retirement through and through. i'm going to try let him live up every moment that he has. >> griff: star sergeant, take me to the moment when you were

and woman. every little ones whose life has been devastated by lord these are the little jesus of today. >> that was the pope giving christmas message from the vatican making a theme. celebrate under the cloud of war and tragedy. joining us now with a message of hope and triumph. retired navy seal mike sarraille. mike, merry christmas to you. thank you for being here. thank you for your service. and coming on this morning to bring your message of peace. i want to talk to you about that. but you heard the pope there in giving his message and his message he really was hitting what he called the futile logic of war in the very land where jesus himself was born. what are your thoughts? >> well, first off, merry christmas, griff. peace on earth should be our pursuit. especially for those coming

behind us. also a multifaceted concept it. requires a deep understanding of the harsh realities of the world where power struggles and conflict are just a part of human nature. but, for those that have seen the worst of human conflict, we understand that peace on earth may not mean the absence of conflict on -- in its entirety. now, peace is not a passive sort of statement simply happens. it happens by us making it so. by actually pursuing it and sacrificing for it. especially when it's uncomfortable or unpopular. now, here's the hope is that we learn and grow so that we break the silence of or the cycle of violence by passing those lessons onto the future generations should they live in a more just, compassionate and safer world. >> that's such a powerful message, mike. and nobody knows the true significance hope like war fighters like yourself. there are no atheists in a fox

hole. you have been in a lot of fox holes. expand a little bit on what that means for those like yourself who have served and made sacrifices for our nation and now at this time of christmas, reflecting on, you know, the sacrifices you have made for that promise of hope. >> well, griff, what a lot of people don't understand is that the military is in the profession of peace, trained in the art of war. you know, a lot of people don't pray to god when times are good. but especially on the battlefield where when matters are life and death. you find yourself close to god. there is something interesting about being with your brothers and sisters in arms. you will never feel an emotional intimacy of love as deep as that, that that is all you have and you are thankful for that companionship, that homecoming and belonging despite income a war zone. and the hope is that the

conflict ends quickly. and, you know, i wish more people could experience it in a way i'm glad they don't but ultimately, the sacrifices of our soldiers right now for those who gave their lives on the global war on terror the whole point is so that others don't have to go forward and do it. the reality of the world is we have got to actively pursue it and be vigilant. >> griff: mike, in the last 30 seconds i have got left i want to give you a shout-out not only of the men and women sacrifice but also to the chaplains in the invasion of iraq 2003 had the honor and privilege of listening to an easter sermon from a chaplain. it really galvanized the unit of marines we were with in a very difficult time in the battle in iraq. >> well, i want to send my blessings to all the gold star families, all the military families who have ones deployed in the chaplains. all i can say is they were our spiritual and emotional rock in

watching them do some of the things they did on the battlefield was inspiring and it gave us hope. >> griff: mike is a rally thank you to you your family and loved once. thank you for being here. >> likewise shooting colorado springs mall on christmas eve. one person dead, three others hurt after gunfire rang out at the citadel mall. police say it all started when a couple of groups were fighting earlier in the day. meantime, thousands of migrants are set to be joining a massive caravan in southern mexico on christmas eve. officials say it may be the biggest group in some 18 months. they are said to be on the march toward the u.s. the caravan leaving just days before secretary of state anthony blinken is in the country to discuss mass migration with the mexican president. to the nfl now, the patriots pulling off a wild 26-21 victory
