If things of monetary and commercial value only bring brief happiness, how is it that they can signify Jesus's purity and 'value'? This is not to say that these might not be adequate symbols, but that they might mean something 'other' in your text

Lovely story. I don't want to be overly flattering, yet I must add that one does not encounter writing of this calibre here very often.

"Yes you have, but not the way I am about to tell it."

My sole qualm is that the re-telling of the three wise men was not as unique as I expected it to be, although it was interesting to note about the spiritual significance of those gifts.

Interesting angle on the three gifts; never heard that before. Nicely done.
