Dear Mary,
Oh my poor, poor girl. A stable! I’m so sorry. It sounds like a nightmare. I just thank God that the baby is okay. Jesus is a lovely name but what happened to calling him Immanuel?
I’m not sure that it’s right that you should be entertaining guests so soon. Did you make sure those shepherds washed? I read somewhere that sheep carry all sorts of diseases. As for Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh - What kind of gifts are they for a newborn? And they call themselves wise. Men! Where is Orient R anyway?
Regarding the problem with the bright star all I can suggest is that you make sure the shutters are firmly closed at night. You must make sure you get a few good nights sleep.
I can’t wait to see the baby. A newborn always give hope for the future.
Write soon dear and give my love to Joe.
Love,
Mum
PS. Did you get the swaddling cloth I sent? I’m knitting you a shawl. It’s blue.
FUNNY! Sounds just like a mom, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious! But she woudl have to say something outright or backhandedly nasty about Joseph...
ReplyDeleteUnimportant fact:
ReplyDeleteOn Christmas Eve in 2001, the Bethlehem Hotel had 208 of its 210 rooms free. So it would appear that it's all just a matter of timing...

Yes.....but in 2001 they weren't running a flamin census!
ReplyDeleteMind you, it could have worse....the wise men could have brought, Gold, Frankincense and socks! that would have ruined a few Christmas morning sermons.
