Laura: Okay, everybody. We gotta hurry. Katy's a key to this holiday pageant. Clayton: I don't like holiday pageants. Everybody's in those crazy sweaters, turtlenecks and festive ties with eggnog stains. Adam: Don't bad-mouth turtlenecks. They're an effective tool in the layering process. Laura: Uh-oh. Adam: What's wrong? Laura: I forgot the Santa cookies... Adam: What?? Katy: That's the very essence of pure holiday joy! Clayton: Worst pre-holiday pageant ever. Adam: I've got an idea. Next stop, holiday merriment! Laura: What about the pageant? Katy's role is a big one this year. Adam: So they go without myrrh for one year. Unless they're embalming a mummy, they won't notice.

Myrrh the forgotten child of the ephiphany.

Everybody looks happier in the last panel. Didn’t take much to force the change either!

This is a bizarre one.

A holiday pageant where they embalm a mummy. I think I’d watch that.

So Katy is the Myrrh?

Nice outrage, treesareus. But methinks you’re looking for something to complain about. They’re clearly celebrating at least part of the Christian holiday with myrrh.
But that doesn’t fit your agenda so you conveniently omit it.

Indeed. Now some Christians take offense at what people DON’T say? Now that’s a persecution complex.
I say let’s put the pagan back in the pagan solstice holiday.
Also, if “Jesus is the reason for the season,” does that mean we can blame him for the 30-below temperatures, the 6 feet of snow, the icy roads and sidewalks, and the lack of sunlight?
I like to celebrate the holidays, but the minority of Christians who demand that it is theirs and only theirs shows their lack of good will and tends to crush the holiday spirit in the rest of us.

Woo-hoo! The first “War on Christmas” diatribe I’ve seen this year! That really gets me in the “Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards Men” mood…

I would be happier if we celebrated Christ’s birth when it is warmer. Since the Bible says the shepherds were in the fields, it probably wasn’t the dead of winter. I’m not fond of cold weather.

Either way, because cookies were forgotten, they teach their kids its ok to not show up for a commitment. Not a great lesson.

Just think! This way they get ALL the cookies when they get home, rather than having to share them…
