Something Missing? Christmas On-the-Light-Side

The little boy, his red wagon and a promise....

It was the day after Christmas at a church in San Francisco. The pastor of the church was looking over the manger scene when he noticed that the baby Jesus was missing from among the figures. Immediately he turned and went outside and saw a little boy, with a red wagon, and in the wagon was the figure of the little infant, Jesus.


So, he walked up to the boy and said, "Well, where did you get Him, my fine friend?"


The little boy replied, "I got Him from the church."


"And why did you take Him?"


The boy said, "Well, about a week before Christmas, I prayed to Jesus and I told Him if He would bring me a red wagon for Christmas I would give Him a ride around the block in it."
