LOL! What a delightful perspective on this story. Loved it. Merry Christmas, Portia. And let's keep dear Mary in mind as she hopes to God that the media don't arrive with all kinds of probing questions. She's quite exhausted by all the probing.
One of my closest friends and a great writer always sends this to me on Christmas so I shall send it to you, another great writer: “happy pagan ritual! may you find the scoundrel who stole your backpack.” That last part isn’t exactly universal, come to think of it.
But we all know a scoundrel or two who stole something from us, or tricked us, so that's pretty universal don't you think? Thanks Tim, Happy Pagan Ritual and Solstice to you (although you don't do Christmas), your loved ones, cats, dog, Milo and Mabel!
Wise men watch. Shepherds flock the sheep. A new story is born. A movie star in the making.
The old new way to laugh and see bubbles pup in the tub. Let the Joy ring the sleigh bells. Reindeer dance. Presents unwrapped. As they say in the theater. It’s a cut !
And a cotoneaster berry new year to you. Make jelly, watch the Telly ball drop and keep your fingers busy writing with chocolate cheese carrot cake. Life is a luscious list of things still yet to do.
Yesterday at Sailor's Coffee we were joking how some of these old stories might want to be updated and revised to better render reality, and voila ! Here it is. Merry Christmas Portia.
A marvel, not so much the Arrival of The Bab but much about the pithy pointed way you etch the telling of The Story.
Why, Rob, what a pleasure to meet you here. Happy New Year!
If the Testaments were written like this, I may be tempted to read them. You should pitch the idea to a few publishers.

Brilliant! Happy Christmas Portia!
Grazie mille, Lizzie, buon Natale!
"In your own name, Jesus baby, stop screaming the roof down, and let mummy sit up straight." That's my fave line.
Happy holidays, Portia!
Happy holidays, Brett! I'm ever so flattered, many thanks!

Yes, leave the poor young lady alone! Thanks so much Sue, and merry Christmas to you and yours!
Merry Christmas Portia (kind of again because I just wished you the same on my Stack).
Gabriel is so gay.
Mary wasn't amused about it. Merry Christmas again, Nicolas, thank you!

Indeed it is universal. And no matter the day, I’m glad to know it. And you.

Merry Christmas, Tod, thanks for your support this year! I can picture this Sailor's Coffee, full of tough but kind-in-their-souls men like you.
Merry Christmas, Portia!
Hi darling, Merry Christmas to you and Vincent! Are you going to enjoy a day on the beach, you lucky residents in the Southern Hemisphere?
Thank you, Portia! Nah, we don't fancy joining the revels. On this holy night, we'll just stay home to enjoy a silent night😉.
Enjoy the silence!
