I’m such a lousy Christian. I always put Baby J in the creche, because I’m afraid I’ll lose him if I don’t. I haven’t even set it up this year. That’s on the to-do list for tomorrow. I’ll try to find some way to make it right this year. I swear.

Omagawd, I wish I’d read this one first so I wasn’t so startled by Baby JC popping out of the advent calendar.

I had no idea about the manger/Christmas thingy. Dang. Births of Saviors are hard.

Let us know if you can get through to mimi smartypants. I’ve been trying to ask for a recipe she mentioned in her archives, but it all just comes a-bouncing back.

Growing up my mother was manic about not putting baby Jesus out until bedtime Christmas Eve. It never made sense to me.

O man. You have me in all kinds of crazy right now. First off, I don’t put up a nativity. Crap, am I going to hell for THAT??? Second, that poor poor lil Baby Jesus in your drawer, do you think he gets hungry in there? Are post-its non toxic? Cause I think poisoning BJ goes against everything Christmas stands for. O God, am I going to hell now for shortening Baby Jesus to BJ and then rolling over in a barrel laugh at the irony of his name?

Yeah, I’m pretty much screwed I think….

I don’t do the nativity thing, but I always feel bad if I have to chew my communion wafer. It’s supposed to be the body of Christ and He went through so much for us already so I always try to let it soften up on my tongue and just swallow it.

Hi Em,

I read through that drama on your page. It was not me – you might be able
to tell who by your stat counter, depending on which type you have. My IP
address comes out of California, if that helps clear my name :^). But also,
it is not my style to (knowingly) dish out the heavy handed advice. When I
read the anonymous comment on your page, I thought, “whoever that is might
be better served getting their own blog and addressing their own issues re:
honesty.”

I think most people give out the advice they really mean for themselves.
Whoops, including this advice here!

Yes, you are going to hell.

Ha! Kidding.

My mother seriously makes that nativity scene into an actual stable in Bethlehem. no joke. She brings in moss, and sticks and crap from the yard and puts it all on the mantle. It literally looks like the damn barn, inside.my.parents.house. It always looks so pretty, but really? It’s insane behavior. I picture her taking 3 hours to lay it out all perfectly. She even has the wisemen higher up (like sitting on a shot glass, covered in moss) so it’s all 3 dimensional. Craziness, I tell you. Craziness.

Anne, thanks for the recent comments. And if you are “anonymous” ,I still love your ass. I only wish I could be as honest as you are here. Maybe I need to start my own anonymous blog, so I can be real yo’.

You could always shove him in the drawer with the wise men because technically they didn’t show up until after Christmas too. At least he’d have some peeps to chill with.

OMS Anne…that rocks. I am LOL!

It could ONLY be funnier with a popsicle stick. Or a cracker. Take your pick.

I like the post it note and paperclips.
