Krissy–I don’t know why they’re white. Maybe because Mary was one of the first purveyors of sunblock. Or maybe my flash just washed her out. I KNOW that Jesus would have had much more olive skin in real life. I guess the maker of my nativity set just wasn’t down with brown. Thanks for giving me another Christmas complex.

Tiffany–You should TOTALLY send me your extra cards. I’ve already purchased more than 50, and still don’t think it’s enough!

Mandy–I think I would like your nativity set with the bug-eyed Jesus. It adds personality. Like my one-handed Jesus. The Wisemen would still make me sad (stupid Wisemen, such attention hogs!)

You CRACK me up! I’m loving the Wise Men in the east (your bedroom). My biblically incorrect nativities are taking over the shelves in my living room at the moment. And then there’s the plastic one I have that would disturb you greatly. I got it when I was like 5 and it has Mary, Joseph, Jesus (who is broken and falls out of the manger often. . .he also has slightly creepy bug eyes, but that’s another story.) Anyway, there’s no shepherds, only Wise Men. Yeah, not so biblical.

You know, I have the same problem with christmas cards. I tend to lean towards those with snowmen (even though it has failed to give me a good snowing since I left Bluefield). However my other main problem is getting a set of cards that has less than 35 in it. I don’t send out that many cards. I wouldn’t know who to send them to anyway. Maybe I should send you 12 to make it okay to buy that one box.

i was wondering also about the nativity card vs. nativity scene…alas…my question is, how come jesus, mary and joseph were all white? how is it possible that jesus was a white baby born in bethleham?
oh and i’ve got to say this little commentary today has livened up my otherwise very depressing day. Thanks all!

Ah, he’s too young for a staff. He gets it when he turns 16.

And Joseph had a rough night.

no no, i know that’s joseph (who looks incredibly old), i was talking about the kid with the sheep. he’s the shepherd and does not have a staff, thus i was asking if it was also under the stove at your old apartment in Missouri.

Oh Scott, you’re losing points. That’s not a shepherd’s staff–because that’s Joseph, not a shepherd. It’s his walking stick. And Jesus’ hand is under the stove at my old apartment in Missouri. Or heaven.

is the shepherd’s staff with a hook on it where Jesus’ missing hand is?
