The Judge Who Stole Christmas
The Judge Who Stole Christmas
“Every host had questions that she couldn’t answer. What about the Muslims? Couldn’t Thomas set up the manger scene on church property? And the toughest one: Did she agree that the manger scene was just part of the history of a secular national holiday that was no longer regarded as a religious event?
Of course she didn’t agree, but she didn’t want to disrespect the town’s justification for displaying the manger scene, either. Instead, she stumbled around and looked like a fool. Eventually, she ...settled for her old standby: “That was their opinion.”
After the shows, a young assistant for Reverend Hester named Johnny whisked them around New York City. It was overwhelming—all the people and the monstrous buildings—and Theresa couldn’t help but stare at the tops of the huge skyscrapers like the tourist she was. The wind whipped through the streets and cut right through her wool winter coat. She hoped to see snow, but Johnny told her it was too cold to snow. Instead, their little crew stepped around the slush left from an earlier snowfall, with little piles of black snow and ice lining parts of the curb.MoreLess
