That's the story of


My friend's nativity scene is the product of a blended family.

Baby Jesus has a little baby brother, also named Jesus.

There are three mother Marys, but only one Joseph as far as I can tell. Lots of shepherds and angels, a few wise men, several kings, even a sacred cow or two.

They are all colors and sizes and I suspect a fair diversity of ages.

It is just the sort of thing the Jesus I learned about in preschool would have loved, but almost certainly not something many fundamentalists would be able to tolerate today.

Funny who changes things.
