"not quite sure what roosters have to do with Jesus?"
Rupert: Nobody leaves until the Reverend is finished
Henrietta: (mumbles)... hmph, there weren't any chickens at the Nativity anyway...

everybody dance:
What is so sad about this is that changing that little bitty flag to something....uh....more "seasonal" would take like 15 seconds. Really?! We can't change the Christmas theme and it is May???! Sheesh. Lazy butts. Poor little chicks. :(
ReplyDeleteThese aren't just ordinary chickens...Back when Noah was stocking his Great Ark, Mr. and Mrs. Fowl (tempered..) were celebrities on the boat, after having confessed to laying the original egg, thus solving the chicken/egg debate.
ReplyDeleteDestined to be where the action was (spiritually speaking), they hitched a ride with the innkeeper on a recent lamb buying expedition from Jerusalem. Then made themselves at home in his barn; blending in seamlessly with the local cow, sheep, and rat population. And on that starry night, joined in the chorus with the world to celebrate.
Oi?
I think Diane was just reminiscing about the bantam chickens she had as a child. Of course, we didn't have a nativity flag out in May....and Diane escaped from this scene by bringing Baby Henry out to see me!!

... and they didn't think to wrap the flag pole in Christmas lights? So lazy...
ReplyDeleteredgirl thank you for solving the mysterious connection of chickens and biblical history. Now that I think of it, you owe us another story.
ReplyDeleteLin, yes is sad and lazy not take down the poor faded tattered flag. We can both agree with Qorvig that, what the heck, no lights... that's almost criminal.
Nancy, so Diane had chickens...that explains a lot.
Even for Christmas, it's a sad little banner - what? the new Christmas colours are pink and blue?
ReplyDeleteI'm worried about the baby chicks. Maybe Sweet Baby Jesus in the flag will heal them.
ReplyDeleteLaura, healing the chicks would be a May in Christmas Miracle! Praise be.
ReplyDeleteThe chicks are prostrate, begging their parents to PLEASE take them home because five months of church is ENOUGH!!!
