The Confessional

[teapeebubbles]

As a teacher, Ms. Jones, was very curious about how each
of her students celebrated Christmas. She called on young
Patrick Murphy. "Tell me Patrick what do you do at Chris-
tmas Time?", she asked.

Patrick addressed the class, "Well Ms. Jones, me and my
twelve brothers and sisters go to the midnight Mass and
we Sing hymns, then we come home very late and we put
mince pies by the back door and hang up our stockings.

Then all excited we go to bed and wait for Father Chris-
tmas to come with all our Toys".

"Very nice Patrick", she said.

"Now, Jimmy Brown what do you do at Christmas?" "Well,
Ms. Jones, me and my sister also go to Church with Mum
And Dad and we sing carols and we get home ever so late.
We put cookies and milk by the chimney and we hang up
our stockings. We hardly sleep, waiting for Santa Claus
to bring our presents."

Realizing there was a Jewish boy in the class and not
wanting to leave Him out of the discussion, she asked,
"Now, Isaac Cohen, what do you do at Christmas?"

Isaac said, "Well, it's the same thing every year. Dad
comes home from the office. We all pile into the Rolls
Royce, then we Drive to his toy factory.

When we get inside, we look at all The empty shelves
and begin to sing 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus'.
Then we all go to the Bahamas."
