baby jesus

[zzxxee]

if you were going to see the baby jesus what gift would you bring him and why? i would have bought him some no nails much kinder to the skin on the hands than nails , when he would be on a cross at a later date

[zzxxee]

thanks and i replied

[zzxxee]

i would also bring him a travel cot much cosier than sleeping on hay

Actually, Jesus' arms may have been roped to the cross, so nails through the palms could have been OK. I expect he didn't see it that way, but for him the ensuing 6 (36?) hours were not going to be a lot of fun.

Wasn't he (apparently!) nailed through the wrists? :o/

[WoWo]

Common christian iconography shows him hanging on the cross via nails in his hands, but Roman crucifiction methods of the time tended to nail a person as you say via the wrist.

I'd take along the skeptic society to debunk the religion myth. To drum some sense into the magi & other hangers on. Maybe even some cult busting person to keep them locked in a motel room for as long as it takes for them to be unbrainwashed.
And I'd give the kid the noisiest toy I could find - to annoy Joey & Mary.

Strictly speaking he usually gets three prezzies so here goes.
1. Firstly the most important one is really for the olds - a huge box of disposable nappies. In my experience almost all babies excrete an aweful lot but for someone who grew up to spout such a load of s@*t as an adult, he would have to have been overendowed in the potty department even at birth.
2. A application to deep poll so he can change his name. Poor little ****** has enough problems without everyone assuming that he was Puerto Rican.
3. A inflatable dinghy. All that walking on water may have been an impressive party trick but would surely have played havoc with his Reeboks.
