Thread Name: A quick Christmas story!
Subject: RE: A quick Christmas story!
I'll admit it. The first time I heard about frankincense and myrrh I had no idea what it was. It didn't really make much more sense after the explanation because why would the three kings travel so very far and bring gold - yep, I get that - and two kinds of incense?
But your story reminds me of someone coming into the library where I worked, asking for a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird, and the very new young library assistant saying she couldn't find it in the old alphabetical catalogue book. I asked her what she was looking for and she said Tequila Mockingbird.
