23rd December. Welcome to Bethlehem.

"I can't believe they'd actually get a real camel into the foyer of the concert hall" I said as we queued up outside in the bitter weather along with mainly believers, i would guess.

"D'you think they're deliberately keeping everyone waiting outside just to impress on them how much Jesus suffered?" I thought aloud, as we gradually approached the mock Roman census.

To be fair we were really only there as a pre-pizza rendez-vous with F&D, who are keen to emphasise the 'true meaning of Christmas' on young L.

To be honest what this amounts to is a mix up over the Hebrew word for Maiden and the shortest day previously falling on the 25th prior to the reform of the Julian Calendar.
