Little Angela knew she wouldn’t be able to keep the Baby in the bed she shared with her sister, Aggie, all night. She’d let him rest there a while, all nice and warm in a blanket, and when it was time to go to sleep she’d put him under the bed and hope he was comfortable till morning.

Her mother was surprised to see her coming down the stairs at teatime instead of in the front door.

“Was it having a bit of a rest you were?”

“’Twas.”

After tea she was allowed to sit by the fire listening to the talk of her family. She always wanted to say something, but she was told she was too young and to shush up. She was only six, so what could she ever say that was important?

Tonight she didn’t mind one bit. She had a big secret: Baby Jesus above in the bed nice and warm. It was hard for her to keep that secret, but she could not say a word or they’d all want to see him and play with him like any old doll. She had a doll once which she still cried over when she remembered how her sister, Aggie, pulled its head off and laughed.
