Just a little branch to the story, the Celts had a legend that Joseph of Aremethia (Big J's Step Dad) came to Britain after the crucifixion (at, what, a spry 125?) and built a monastery and cathedral at Glastonbury Tor. He brought a certain, well, cup with him.
Aside from being a bitchin' music festival, many believe that Glastonbury is the site of the mythical island, Avalon.
Excellent. I too have occasional odd flashes about how things turned out the way they did for Big J. For instance, was there a moment when Joseph said to him 'Look, you can't go round laying hands on people all the time. It's a bit creepy.' Or did he ever try and tempt J to follow in his footsteps, telling him there was no money in being a Messiah, and he needed to get a steady trade under his belt? Did J say in return 'Are you kidding? Get real, Pops - I've got women throwing themselves at me left, right and centre! You don't think I'm walking out on that to start waving a chisel around, do you?' Then went back to throwing shapes at the moneylenders and rapping like Hamilton.
'I'm the Messiah, though you think I'm a liar
But if you build me a steeple - I'll be feeding all you people
Because my Daddy is God and he is not to be ignored
Or with thunder and light'n' it is you he will be smitin'...''
I will be thinking about Mary’s foof for a few days. I personally love a fig roll too. Have a good one, chiselling and maybe treat yourself to a 🧣 scarf.
The three kings brought gold, Frankincense, and myrrh. What happened to the gold, eh? I’ll tell you — Joseph went off to Sodom and blew it all on strippers and blow. So much for the college fund.
I, too, am crap about gifts, but this makes me feel slightly (only slightly) less crap about the fact that you've sent me a couple of lovely Christmas gifts in the past and I haven't returned the generosity 😆
The elephant in the room. Is Joseph a step dad to Jesus
I feel this is beyond doubt. Or...?
Omg too funny. And the nativity featuring Mary’s foof was the cherry on top! 😄
Haha thank you! Mary's foof should get a lot more credit, in my opinion!

That's great, isn't it? Love that being 125 or so years old didn't stop him from starting a music festival! ;) Happy Xmas, Mark!
I love history and myths...

(Might need a bit of work, tbh...)
I think it needs to be more hip hop. But otherwise, perfect! Let's get the nativity scripted and make our fortunes!

Probably did the same with the frankincense and myrrh.
Yup. Straight up his nose. (Whatever myrrh is….)
Probably some kind of smack.

Your Mary’s foof nativity made me laugh, Georgina. Trust you to think of all the practicalities!
Haha I thought it was about time it got a mention! Thanks Wendy!

Well I haven't sent you anything this year, Lynda, so we're all fair and square! 😄
Love your new carol!! 🤣🤣
Thanks!
Somehow, I've now got Mary's Prayer by Danny Wilson stuck in my head. Only they're not singing 'prayer' anymore.
Haha brilliant!
