Description

Mary and Joseph said, "Welcome! It's so nice of you to visit us! However, please excuse us if we 'doze off' now and them, because today has been a very long and tiring day." (Shh! I think Mary and Joseph have fallen to sleep. However, it looks like Jesus is still awake and hopeful that you will continue you 'visit' throughout your life!) [In a sense I think that the picture itself dictated the comment. During this season we tend to get so involved in the joy, gift giving, etc. that we probably don't appreciate the fact that for Mary and Joseph this probably was one of the most stressful and fatiguing event of their lives.]
