December drabbles - 1

“Why do shepherds wash their socks by night? Wouldn’t they see better in the day?” Alice/Mary was holding her doll upside down, checking for shoes, while Joseph tugged at his gown.

Mrs. Adams had heard it all before. “Now, children; get in line.”

“But if it’s silent night, why are we singing?”

“No talking children.”

“But Miss. Did they have reindeer in the stable?”

“Did they have elephants?”
