I promise to resume the story tomorrow but today I am sharing with you my absolute favorite part of Christmas.
Years and years ago I went to my friend Natalie's house at Christmas time and there I observed the single most horrifying thing I have ever seen during the holiday season: Baby Jesus in the manger. Specifically, the one in Natalie's nativity scene.
I considered how to address this issue delicately. Certainly I was not the first person to notice. Certainly someone had pointed this out to Natalie's family before. I mean, it's just so inappropriate.
"So…has anyone ever told you that your Baby Jesus is creepy? You know, because he looks EXACTLY like a miniature Richard Simmons? "
