Hilarity ensued.
And yes, it was rather like kissing a furry caterpillar.

Last year a friend gave me a small stable he had built to use for my creche. This year when I pulled it out I discovered that Mary and the rest of gang had mysteriously disappeared. No baby Jesus. No wisemen. No sheep. (Which you know sounds like a good premise for a children's book. Someone should write about that!)
There were suggestions that I subsitute the original characters for lego figures, trolls or even Strawberry Shortcake (!?). Someone offered me a penguin. However thankful I am for the creative (weird) ideas, I decided to go a little more traditional and bought a new nativity today.
It came with the Three Wisemen. But after setting it all up, it seemed a little crowded. Kind of a like being at an open house where you really don't know anybody and you're tired and feeling cranky and just want to go home, but you have to stay and make small talk and eat the too spicy meatballs just to be polite. So I took the Wisemen away.
It's more peaceful this way. The company has left, the hub bub has died down and now it's just Mary and Joseph, and their most wonderful baby.
Merry Christmas, all!
