Notes from a carol service

The prophet definitely did not say that the virgin was with child and would bear a son, and would call his name Emmanuelle. Trust me on this.

Mind you, have nearly had Gabriel greet Mary as 'having found flavour with God', I can't talk...

There's a Good Friday order of service that declares the soldiers "pierced his side with a pear". We've used it at least three times, and each time it's all I can do not to crack up.

Oh dear, that's particularly unfortunate - hysterical laughter is a bit less acceptable in the context of Good Friday....
