Sunday - Christmas, nativity scene
Description
The following writing was inspired by wintry objects in the Museum of Childhood collections. The writers are part of 26, a group of writers with a love of words, who have invented a form of writing, called a sestude, consisting of 62 words.

'Sunday'

'"Look Daddy - a wee house!"
"It's not a house. It's a stable."
"Can I play with it?"
"No son, it's for looking at. Not touching."
"Why does it have people in it?"
"That's baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph and The Three Kings."
"Who?"
"Ask Granny. Don't they teach you anything at school?"
"Stupid toy! What's the use of something I can't play with?"'
