Over on his site, John Scalzi has a great interview with Ben Cohen, proprietor of the inn where Jesus was born.
So the baby is born, and they place him in the manger.
Which, by the way, I told them not to do.
Why?
Because how unsanitary is that? Do you know what a manger is?
As far as I know, it’s the place you put infant messiahs.
It’s a food trough for animals.
The whole thing is a great holiday read.
