When the greatest story ever told became the greatest tweet ever t(w)old.

My great aunt was a Sunday School teacher and was once presented with a drawing of Jesus, Mary, Joseph... and an enormous insect. The source? Misunderstanding the angel who instructed Joseph to "take the child and flea into Egypt"...

Because of the last 3 syllables of the chorus:
O come let uS ADORE HIM

S-A-D-O-R-E-H-I-M = CIDER HAM 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A pretty snazzy after-school hangout at Christmastime to be fair...

My darling daughter came home from nursery saying she was going to Beverley Anne’s. I said I needed to speak to her mummy to arrange things like that. No mummy we are all going from Nursery. After talking to Nursery teacher the group were going to Bethlehem in the Nativity 🥰🥰
