My favorite Christmas shirt shows a stable scene. There’s a star overhead, camels, folks looking in the windows. From inside a voice hollers: _IT’S A GIRL!_ My beloved grandmother saw that shirt and was worried about my theology/beliefs, and I told her “Grandma, it’s just a joke! Don’t worry!” But I never again wore it when she might see it. Grandma was the only person in the whole world I’d alter my behavior for, or pretend to anyway. I’m actually pretty devout, but I think it’s a hilarious gag. Even wore it to a party at church once. ---

Huge thing, takes up a corner of his living room. It’s basically supposed to be village around the manger.

Maybe have it eating a sheep or something. This is something that must be done. ---
