Xmas Joe

Let's hear it for Joseph. He married Mary after she was pregnant and raised Jesus as his son, at least until he seems to mysteriously disappear from the story whether from old age or accident. And does he get any respect? Even now?



At least Jamie Spears gets a raise for putting up with daughter Britney's mischegas. But Joseph gets pretty much nothing (Minor Sainthood - Comedic Cuckold Character = zero status). So, since it's pretty likely his son wasn't even born tomorrow, how about taking at least a couple moments — you are on vacation, after all — to show some love for daddy Joe? After all, 'tis the season ....
