Simone: What's Christmas?
Me: It's the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
Simone: Who's Jesus Christ?
Me: Jesus Christ was a guy, around two thousand years ago, who went around turning water into wine, feeding the poor, turning the other cheek, telling people love is better than hate. He was kind of like the world's first hippie. And he got people to believe he was the son of God.
Simone: Who's God?
Me: God made Adam and Eve and he did that flood thing and dictated the ten commandments. He's omnipotent so he sees you when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake! A lot of people think God is the creator of the universe.
Simone: What's the universe?
Me: The universe is everything. It's Star Trek and Buddha and hockey. It's great architecture and mountain ranges and the sun and moon and stars. But it's also war and disease and death.
Simone: Does the universe smell like chicken?
Me: I don't know what the universe smells like.
Simone: I smell chicken.
Me: That's because that's your Christmas present.
Simone: So Christmas is chicken?
Me: Yes, Christmas is chicken.
Simone: Merry chicken Christmas!
Me: Merry chicken Christmas!

Merry Chicken Christmas to you and Simone - may your days be merry and bright!
ReplyDeleteChicken all around! There's enough for everyone! It'll be a a merry turkey Christmas here for us and Queenie the Rescued Shih Tzu.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a tofu turkey for me much to my dogs disdain and possible amusement! But Merry "whatever" Christmas to all on this site and especially to Fred and the sweet Simone. She looks a lot like my own black dog, grizzled snout and all.
