The Christmas Parenting Woes of Mary.

All parents have some parenting woes of some shape or form. For most it’s a case of NEVER SLEEPING, for Mary I guess it was a slightly different set of woes she had to put up with when Jesus was born.

  • Many, many, unexpected guests.
  • Joseph nipping our with the shepherds to wet the baby’s head.
  • The place (presumingly) looking like a mess.
  • Drafty barn type accommodation.
  • Dealing with a Talking Donkey.
  • Possibly still fielding questions about the timing of the birth / marriage.
  • Just as she’s just getting used to parenting, a bunch of “wise men” appear.
  • That kid still flipping drumming.
  • Wanting nappies as a gift… and getting myrrh.
  • Wondering if the smell was baby or animal.

I guess I’m thankful we didn’t have to put up with a little drummer boy when Little Sofa was born.

Last Minute Christian Christmas Present Ideas!

Newsflash! Its almost Christmas! Have you got all the Christmas presents you need yet? Do you have anyone at Church you want to get a present for, but you’re struggling for ideas of what to get?  Here is our list of last minute Christian Christmas Present ideas to help you out! (Affiliate Links are below)

Jesus Drink Markers! 

They may not turn water into wine, but it seems that Jesus can help you keep an eye on which glass of wine is yours. The product description calls Jesus your drinking buddy, which still sounds like a good thing. 

Find it over on Amazon. 

The Jesus Family Snow Globe.

Snow Globes are Christmas. Well they are around Sofa HQ, and we have to admit. Baby Jesus with Mary and Joseph are VERY Christmas. Why not combine the two into a snow globe?

Or at least a water ball… from Amazon. (I’m presuming thats the same as a snow globe).

Wish Jesus A Happy Birthday…

Wish Jesus a Happy Birthday EVERYWHERE you go, with this jumper / sweater thing. Amazon even has a load of different colours. 

The Cuddly Jesus!

Perhaps you’re look to give a Church kid something… Jesus like?

Perhaps you’re looking to give something… soft?

Combine the two and give a Jesus Soft Toy!

Could be worth a cuddle?

What would you add to this list of Christian Christmas Presents?

Have you played THE EPIC Christmas Party Game?

Do you have relatives worried about Santa, and his place in Christmas?

Do you know people who think there should be a little less St Nick at this time of year?

Do your friends wish people would look up for the Lord more often, and not look for Father Christmas?

Probably best you don’t play this game with them…

Tempted? Amazon is your friend…  (Affiliate link)
