Well, Herod is an unusual and rather villainous character in the Christmas story. He was so threatened by the news of the birth of a new 'King of the Jews' that he ordered the massacre of all the male infants in Bethlehem in an attempt to get rid of Jesus.
The shepherds can also be considered unusual characters. They were just ordinary people, out in the fields, doing their normal jobs when suddenly angels appeared to them. And they left their flocks to go and see the newborn Savior, which was a big deviation from their routine work.
For the shepherds, it's their encounter with angels that makes them unusual. Angels are celestial beings, and for these simple shepherds to have such a direct and supernatural experience, it sets them apart. They were then led by the angels' message to visit the Messiah, which was a life - changing event for them.
One unusual character is the Magi. They were wise men from the East. They followed a star to find the baby Jesus. They brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
One unusual Christmas story is about a family who found a reindeer in their backyard on Christmas Eve. Instead of being scared, they welcomed it in. They discovered it had a hurt leg, so they nursed it back to health. That Christmas, they had an unexpected and magical guest. They named the reindeer Sparkle, and it stayed with them until it was fully recovered. It was a Christmas they would never forget.
One of the main characters from a Christmas story is often Santa Claus. He is the jolly figure who brings gifts to children on Christmas Eve.
In the classic Christmas story 'A Christmas Carol', Tiny Tim is a well - known child character. He is a symbol of innocence and hope in the story.
A unique message. In an unusual Christmas story, the moral or the message it conveys might be something other than the common ones about family and giving. It could be about finding hope in the most desolate situations, or how an outcast can bring a new kind of Christmas spirit. For instance, a grumpy character who learns to love Christmas through an extraordinary encounter on Christmas day.
Unusual characters play a big part. Imagine a Christmas story where the reindeer can talk and they go on strike for better working conditions. Also, a strange plot twist, like all the Christmas presents turning into live animals overnight, would make a story very unusual.
The Magi contribute by showing that Jesus was important not just to the local people but was also recognized from far away. Their gifts symbolize different aspects of Jesus' significance - gold for royalty, frankincense for his divinity, and myrrh for his sacrifice.
It depends on which Christmas story the clip is from. If it's from the story of the Nativity, the main characters could be Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus.
Santa Claus is a very popular character. He is known for bringing gifts to children all around the world on Christmas Eve.
