Many years ago, when I first visited my future in-laws over the holidays, I saw that they had set up a small cr\u00e8che as one of their holiday decorations. I may (or may not) have scandalized them by remarking, \u201cIt looks like they\u2019re all saying to each other, \u2018I\u2019m not going to change Him; are you?\u2019\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

In any case, flash forward some three decades and I thought that I might attempt a Nativity scene for my sometimes-annual, always-badly-drawn (for I know no other way to draw) holiday card. For its caption I came up with a related baby Jesus poopoo joke, \u201cGold, frankincense, myrrh\u2026but nobody brought\u00a0Pampers<\/em>?\u201d After a few hours work, it was completed.<\/p>\n

And then I thought of an edgier caption. Poopoo jokes are always<\/em> comedy gold, but given our divisive times, this is the caption with which I finally went:<\/p>\n

\"HolidayHowever (and it seems there’s always a \u201chowever\u201d in comedy) my pointing out the baby Jesus\u2019 religion made me realize that at the Nativity He was just a few short days from His bris<\/a>, and that led me to this:<\/p>\n

\"alternative<\/p>\n

And, if you think that is a far-fetched reason for one of the Three Kings to \u201ctraverse afar\u201d to attend the Nativity, you ain\u2019t never heard of the Holy Prepuce<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
