Inland Revenue P45 and CIS25 Form Registration Closing Date: 24th December

So the Wise Guys have sped off in search of the Star (and some decent gags) and Mary is Christmas shopping. In the meantime, Joseph receives an important letter...

Mr Joseph Carpenter
The Workshop
Artisan Street
Nazareth

Dear Mr Carpenter


Great Caesar Augustus
Has made a decree
That all of the world
Must pay him a fee.

In order to do this
He’s passed a new law
Back to your home town
You must withdraw.

It says it quite clearly
In paragraph three
Clause number twelve
Subsection D.

You have to be present
And the census form sign
In the ancestral city
Of your family line.

You will be fined
If you do not obey
Caesar’s instruction
By Christmas Day.

Yours sincerely

Matthew Levi
Imperial Inspector of Taxes


PS

If you think this is bad
Just wait and see.
Our next cunning plan’s
The taxation of tea.

Evil Henchman strides in and blows a loud whistle

Alright you horrible lot, listen up.

Shut up Martha.

Herod knows where you liven already. But now he's decided he wants to know a lot more about you - how many bathrooms; who doesn't worship him; what your average monthly income is; grandfather's name (if your mother wasn't sure, put "I am the child of the village bike").

And, because Herod is an evil bastard, there's an extra twist. You must all go back to the town of your tribe to hand the census forms in [Big Grin]

Form an orderly queue here for forms. And don't sneak off John, or I'll have to burn your house down.

Henchman begins handing out forms and ticking people off her list

Dashes onstage muttering apologies for tardiness.

Ay carumba! What's this? A census? Good grief, how bad.

Oh, and a henchman too!

Gosh!

Looks around, trying to work out what on earth's going on.

<Enters stage left, reading from a papyrus>

It seems that Augustus has decreed that a census must take place. God, the man's a fool. Does he think I have nothing better to do than count people?

Honestly, I have slaves to whip, orgies to organise, and sheep, angels and an incredibly annoying cat of which to dispose. Where does he think I'll find the time to do this too?

Boy!

<a slave boy enters>

Pass this on to Quirrinus at the Department of Boring. Should keep him busy for a while.

<Herod screws up the papyrus and throws it at the slave boy who scrambles to pick it up and runs off>

Now... about that bloody cat...

Snatches suitcase.

Gosh, a glamorous trip to Bethlehem. Mary's going to be pretty annoyed. Well, I'd better start packing... hmmm... let's see now.

I'll need:
my BJT 123 iron jack/smoothing plane with wooden handle
my XZ45 double open end chrome plated carbon steel spanner
my BJ1370 push-type grease gun
my Block'n'Griffin quick-action G-clamp

Well, that should be enough for now. Might chuck in a couple of shirts too - although the BVM really should have ironed these better.

I wonder what she's up to?

Mary, wrapped up in a blue coat with matching pale blue scarf and woolly hat, struggles onto the stage, carrying ten packed carrier bags which she deposits on the floor with a sigh

Well, whoever would have thought I'd have caught an earlier camel-train home? Thank goodness for that.. my feet are killing me. Kicks off blue suede shoes Hey Joseph, I have saved a fortune. Look at this little layette - Father Christmas babygro, booties, hat and bib - two for the price of one, which was handy. And this little suitcase was on special offer - I thought it might come in handy for the honeymoon. What do you think? Oh, and I saw this lovely blue dress in the maternity department in.... er...Joe? What's wrong??? You look harrassed?

No, I'm just being silly. Seriously though, take a look at this letter...

Hands BVM letter.

It's not great timing, I know, what with the little sprogs about to pop out and all. But doesn't look like we get much of a say in the matter.

Oh, and iron some shirts, wench. [Cool]

I have an antenatal class on Tuesday, I'm having my hair done Friday and I've booked a massage on Saturday morning. There's nothing for it. You'll just have to write to him and say we can't go.

Stops mid-word. Glances nervously at disapproving Director.

Anyway, as I was saying, it might give the wrong impression.

Oh, and the trip is non-negotiable. Pregnant or no, we all have to go. So get packing!

You don't like the pink? [Frown] I rather liked the thought of you in pink. It'd complement my blue dress perfectly, and it accentuates that little dimple in your cheek that I love so much... the one your beard just doesn't quite cover...

The tools are coming with us? But there really won't be room...and surely you won't be needing those en route. I can't manage on just one dress. We're bound to be staying in a high class hotel - what on earth will they say if I turn up for dinner in the same dress as I was wearing at breakfast? And besides, I have to make the most of the generous wardrobe budget Simon has allowed me for this show.... (oops, forgot I wasn't supposed to mention that!)

Now, let me see.... we're going to need 25 sets of clothes for the babies, 50 terry nappies (to save on washing), safety pins, towels, blankets, travel cot, baby bottles, steriliser... oh, and I got this pram half price with the baby bath - a real bargain.....

Casts a grateful smile at the Chief Stage Manager and a sideways scowl at the Musical Director and sets about packing the suitcase

What's it like in Bethlehem this time of year, Joey love? Do you think I'll need my blue bikini and sunhat, or should I pack my blue thermals?

Okay, I'll concede the dresses thing - remind me to book ahead for the hotels, by the way. You can take a few. Make sure they're nice ones, though. And don't take that green one. It makes you look fat. Although...

As for the rest of this baby stuff: no way! The kids don't need nappies. Heck, will they even be going to the toilet? Does the divine go to the toilet? I doubt it. And forget the pram too. If this kid's omniscient and omnipotent, as I have no doubt later Christology will assert, then he can walk on his own two legs.

Honestly, do I have to do all the thinking around here?

right. packing wise, the key is to pack a capsule wardrobe, make sure everything goes with everything else, and don't take more than you need.

Right, that's the first two suitcases filled with the tools and the baby stuff..... now, for my dresses. Which ones do you think, love... Hey, I must show you the one I bought in Mothercare this afternoon. It was 20% off so I saved a fortune! Shall I go and slip it on and give you a twirl?

Here's your tea, by the way. Made just the way you like it. And Angel 1! A cup for you too.
