The tale of vestigial Joseph

[startredder]

My mother is very pleased about the adorable nativity set she got for a shiny Canadian dollar. It is set up on the mantle above the fire place and she was showing it to me before we began decorating the Christmas tree a few days back. There is an adorable little baby Jesus in his manger, an adorable Mary, an adorable angel, an adorable shepherd

Joseph isn't even mentioned in the Koranic account of Jesus's birth. So maybe the adorable nativity was made by Muslims?

On that same account, however, there should be a date tree, and a talking baby Jesus (maybe with one of those pull cords in the back).

They're pretty frickin' white (except for Token the Wise Man) for a Muslim nativity set.

Where did she acquire such an adorable nativity set for one dollar?

Value Village!

(She knows a piece is missing because they were in the original packaging and everything. One dollar! Man.)
