Actually the favourite present would have been the box it all came in.

A Wise Dog.

Its WAY more interactive.

Doggie is wiser.

Does the Lord take delight in thousands of rams, or ten thousand rivers of oil? A broken spirit and a contrite heart he will not deny.

A cold cup of water or a meal for a widow is good, too.

Little Kids get excited by the box and the wrapping paper!

Oh,…Jesus!

We Three Kings of Orient are. Smoking on a trick cigar. It was loaded, it exploded, BANG… We Two Kings of Orient are. Sorry, this was big when a was not

I thought the gifts were for the parents. What is a baby going to do with those gifts anyway?

shouldn’t the dog be herding the sheep?

Of course the tennis ball was the favorite gift. There’s a dog there.

A tennis ball, given with unconditional love….

“Three Wise Men and a Dog” sounds more like a movie from the 1980s.

Merry Christmas everyone! ☺️

Wish you a Joyous Noel!

A ball.. and a dog, have a lot of potential for fun.

From ‘Whose Line is it Anyway,’ Scenes From a Hat -

Drew Carey: “Other gifts the three Wise Men might have considered.”

Colin: “Water skis.”

Un-ThreeKing-believable!!

However, your gifts were very appropriate, most definitely appreciated and more importantly, remembered forever for all eternity by all who believe in the Christmas miracle….

The best gifts are ones that can be shared!

Of course He liked the tennis ball best. The wise men gave material gifts that they could easily afford, while the dog gave all he had.

good one! hahaha!

I’m reposting Ironhold’s comment:Gold: recognition that Jesus was an earthly king in that he was a descendant of King David and that as a king the gold was functionally a tribute

Frankincense: recognition that he was a deity, as this was one of the kinds of incense that was often burned as an offering

Myrrh: used in everything from holy rites to purification to embalming of the dead, recognition both of the needs of mother & child and of the eventual death.
