The Drummer Boy Almost Lost His Head
Well, the Little Drummer Boy suffered a catastrophic near decapitation last year, unfortunately.
We decided to add a lion to the manger, brought back from Africa by Rebel Dancing Daughter.
There is no record of a lion visiting during Jesus’ birth, but sometimes one has to improvise when lambs have been lost over the decades along with one of the three wise men, who is probably still wandering around the desert, refusing to ask directions to the manger.
(This is my childhood manger!)
