If I am doing a Chibi Eli Shirt…we tend to have seafood the night before. About every 7 years or so we were travelling Christmas Day to our timeshare in Banff. Those years I made Christmas dinner the week before so we could keep our fridge fairly empty since we would be gone for a week. I usually had a nice Thai soup made for that day so we could have a light supper after driving 5 hours. So it all depends. Our lovely New Year’s timeshare that we have owned for 20 years has made our holidays so much more enjoyable. We are away from the craziness and enjoying the peace of the mountains. Due to our week falling from Sunday to Sunday at the end of the year…sometimes our week starts on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve. Such is life and we roll with the time.

December is the cold rainy season in this part of the Chibi Eli Shirt . Shepherds would not have been in the field with their flocks. The sheep are all under Winter cover at this time of the year. There is no grass growing in the fields for sheep to eat. Travel in Winter time by foot or animal in those times was very hazardous. The weather makes travel extremely difficult and dangerous. As such, the decree that all travel to their home city to register for the tax would have gone out in mid-Summer at the very latest to give everyone a chance to travel to and back from their home city in relative safety and comfort. The innkeeper offered Mary and Joseph shelter in the barn. He would not have offered this to a soon to deliver pregnant woman if the animals were now in the barn and out of the weather. The barn would have been unsanitary, cold, noisy and impossible to get any rest. Not a fit place for a woman to give birth.
