The pope started off Saturday’s celebrations by lighting a peace candle in the window of his study during the unveiling of a larger-than-life nativity scene in St. Peter’s Square. The scene, at 23 feet high and 82 feet wide, is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, according to the Vatican’s news agency.
Let’s see… gold embroidered hat, diamond and ruby encrusted solid gold scepter, 23 foot tall, 82 foot wide nativity scene.
Yep. There’s plenty of superficial glitter this season..
A Jewish woman entered a hotel. There was a sign that read “Pets welcome, Jews not welcome.”
Undaunted by this, the Jewish lady Mrs. Rosenburg, asked the hotel owner for a room please.
The innkeeper said, “Sorry we have no vancancies.” Mrs. Rosenburg replied, “The sign says VACANCIES right there!”
The innkeeper said, “Mrs. Rosenburg, you know we don’t allow Jews here.”
Mrs. Rosenburg repiled, “I’m not jewish, I’m a bona-fide christian”.
The innkeeper said, “With a name like Rosenburg. Really? Well, for one, who is your savior?”
Mrs. Rosenburg replied calmly, “Why, Lord Jesus Christ of course”
The innkeeper, frowning said, “Oh really. Then tell me how JESUS was born?”
Mrs. Rosenburg replied with all decorum, “He was born of the virgin Mary”
The innkeeper said showing greater impatience, “And where was he born?”
Mrs Rosenburg, showing a small facial tick replied “In a small town of Bethehem in a manger.”
The innkeeper said, “That’s right…….and why was he born in a manger?”
Mrs Rosenburg slammed her fists on the counter and shouted, “BECAUSE SOME JUMPED UP GOYISHCHE SHMUCK OF AN INNKEEPER REFUSED TO GIVE A JEWISH LADY A ROOM”
