Up On The Roof
My parents put up a nativity scene every year complete with all the characters: Joseph, Mary, animals and the Three Wise Guys who brought gifts of Andrew Gold, Frankenstein and Ethel Merman. Hey, what's that up on the roof?
Why look, it's little baby Jesus in his swaddling clothes. My mom always blames me for this, but I think he flies up there all on his own. He does have super powers after all.
Okay, I'm off to Mike's Tavern for lunch and a beer or three. I'll post photos from that later tonight, probably after dinner, so check back this evening if you can. It'll probably go up around 9 or 10 PM.

I just like the idea of this creature or a being on the roof, you know? It's kind of spooky.

I had no idea Jesus was Scandinavian. Mel Gibson will be thrilled.
You know, all my life I've wondered weather or not Jesus ever had any 'Children of the Damned' type moments when he was a little toddler.....you know, like if He ever got mad at a Roman or a Pharisee or something and His eyes would glow in the dark and He'd make him walk out in front of a speeding ox-cart or stick his hand in a pot of boiling olive oil....
Yes, yes, I know...excuse me while I wash the coal dust out of my Christmas stocking.
@Jaws: Google the Gospel of Thomas. It's a now non-canonical early Christian text that basically portrays the child Jesus as the omnipotent kid in the Twilight Zone. (Killing kids, reanimating them, messing with people's heads, good stuff.)
If the Chicago Bears were throwing Baby Jesus like a football --- I'm not surprised he wound up on the roof :(
@rr: Great quote!
@csp: I believe Mel was the first one to refer to Jesus as, "Sugar Tits."
@Jaws: Ha ha ha! Nice one and enjoy your coal!
@GENE: Maybe it was the Bears... and maybe it was Jesus that screwed you on the 14 point spread!
@MAD ........ no ... I'd never blame baby Jesus for a football game ..... maybe I should have done some Tebowing though :(
@GENE: Please, don't ever start Tebowing!
I AM CRY/LAUGHING
"I believe Mel was the first one to refer to Jesus as, "Sugar Tits."

Maia my daughter used to use my nativity as the jesus playset...

@meleah: Glad you got a laugh out of that!
@Gidgie: Ha ha ha! Nice to know I'm not the only one!
