The Empress: A long, long time ago there was a carpenter named Joseph and his wife named Mary and they lived in a small house. And, they lived in the city of Nazareth. And one day an angel appeared and her name was Gabriel. And the angel told her that God has chosed her to be the mother of Jesus. They rode to Bethlehem and it was a very long inventure (hee hee). They went to Bethlehem to pay their taxes.
Me: And what happened in Bethlehem?
The Empress: They got to the inn and they knocked on the door and said, is there any room? And he said, no room. Then they went to the second inn and they knocked on the door and said, is there any room? And he said, no room. And they finally got to the last one and Joseph knocked. Is there any room? No room, but you can sleep in the stable if you want. And Mary said great.
(at this point it appears the holy birth has been completely forgotten....)
The Empress: And then one day some wise men appeared. And the angel said, follow the star and you will see where the baby lay. (long pause...) Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul.
