Sleep in heavenly peace

When someone you love dearly
works very hard on a project
desperately trying to prove something please
a group of preschool mothers 4-year-old children.....

You can be:
supportive...
encouraging...
full of praise...

But don't ask questions.

Like...
Why is Jesus laying in turds?

Because the end result is that beforementioned spouse will not have time to watch hunting shows with you.

And popcorn doesn't taste the same when you have to make it yourself. And eat it alone.

While the cake is rethought and redone and re-smushed together in dyed hands that used to bring me the strange concoction of fruit punch that only she can make just right.

Then little hot chocolate reindeer have to be assembled....

...to make up for the lack of confidence in the Turd Cake...

...that actually could have been biblically accurate.

(In my unsolicated -and now unwanted- opinion.)

Jesus does appear to be quite fond of his new top-of-the-line Manger 2000, though. Doesn't he look more comfortable? Less humiliated?

Happy Birthday, Big Guy.
