Baby Jesus Takes a Beating

Poor baby Jesus. Poor plastic Nativity Scene baby Jesus.

First he started hanging out with the dissolute crowd on Sesame Street, frittering away his hours drinking tea with the Cookie Monster. Of course, gambling followed: he began throwing dice. The next thing we knew, he was the victim in the rowdy game of "Kick the Nativity Scene." And today, finally, the ultimate indignity: it was announced that he was a recipe and an old recipe at that. I suppose adult Jesus is used to being a recipe, the body and blood, but there are lots of things that an adult can endure that children shouldn't experience.

The baby Jesus is not faring well in our household this holiday season. He's going to need a spa in January. And god only knows that the cats do with him while we're away.
