Thank God for Patrick

Everyone else assumed I knew that you are supposed to dress up as Mary or Baby Jesus on Christmas morning. But Patrick quietly filled me in, so as not to embarrass me for my lack of knowledge. Thank you, Patrick. I've got my Mary clothes all picked out. T's family will never know how clueless I once was about this holiday of theirs.

huh? I added something earlier but it is not here!

and huh? You are just joshing, right? Tone is so hard to tell on-line.

Please email me off-line so I don't worry, 'kay?

Is Patrick joking? I've never heard of such a thing!

I hope you have the shepard's costumes for the boys ready too! I don't want them to be embarassed either. They are a bit too old for the baby Jesus.

I have never heard of this either--if you are kidding, it's pretty insensitive...

I wanna be Patrick's friend too. He's such a kind, caring friend who thinks of everything to ensure there is no way you can look silly and ill-informed in front of T's family.

I'm thinking of taking on the role of Inn Keeper myself. With my tea totalling parents' arrival becoming imminent a 'No Vacancy' sign has some appeal :))

I'm guessing you're feeling better. Have a great trip! We'll have to chat when you get back. Enjoy!

I have a battery powered halo that goes over really well on Christmas Day, but I'm using it - sorry! If you don't have a costume well prepared, you can be one of the three wise men-they don't arrive on the manger scene until Epiphany which is in January 6th. You still have time to make an impression! Good luck!

Make sure you paint your face brown, because Mary wasn't caucasian :)
