Mary treasured all and pondered in her heart...

I believe angels said: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, they will call him 'EMMANUEL'(which means),'GOD WITH US'.

Mary believed Angel Gabriel: "You have found favor with God, you will be with child. He will be great and He will be called the Son of the Most High.
The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, the Holy One to be born will be called The Son of God...For nothing is impossible with God".
Joseph believed the angel, in a dream: "Take Mary home as your wife, that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit, she will give birth to a son, name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sin".
Joseph awoke, obeyed all the Angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son, Joseph named him Jesus.

The shepherds believed the angels said: "Glory to God in the Highest and on earth, peace to men of good will and on whom his favor rests.
Don't fear, GOOD NEWS of GREAT JOY TODAY: in the city of David a Savior will be born to you, He is CHRIST THE LORD". Because they believed, they hurried and found Mary, Joseph and the babe.
When they had seen him, THEY SPREAD THE WORD concerning what had been told them about this child, 'ALL WHO HEARD WERE AMAZED'. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through Issiah the prophet: "The Virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son ,and they will call him EMMANUEL-which means God with us".

Luke 2:52. And Jesus grew in wisdom, stature and in favor with God and men.

Remember: As both the shepherds and the Wise Men believed, cared and shared, may we, likewise, all continue to follow Christ.
