Sorry, not Preaching, just sharing the "TRUTH" from the Bible and a Website that assists you in learning and Understanding the Bible, @ JW.ORG
MEGO "my eyes glaze over" The world is full of people who know what is best for the other fellow. In point of fact, you don't have a clue about my beliefs nor those of others on this site. For all you know, I might be just as dogmatic as you and don't need you preaching to me about what I already know.

MY TAKE:
If the story was told with Three Wise Women, they would have asked for directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, brought practical gifts, cleaned the stable, made dinner and there would still be time for Peace On Earth.”

Very clever, but I do have a question on the practical gifts part. One needs to understand the deeper feeling and purposes of the gift the wise men brought. They were not considered wise for no reason.

One the other hand, it might be said that these three men were wise to take a road trip while their wives prepared for Christmas.

I made a comment earlier, but I forgot to mention Mary's response when she received the three gifts from the Wisemen. When given the first gift, gold, she said "Oh thank you, gold will help immensely". Next came the frankincense, and she marveled at how wonderful the scent. The last gift was myrrh. Mary looked at it and politely said, "myrrh, Thank you, you can never have too much myrrh".

They are still used in the middle east to this day.Gold, Frankinsence & Myrrh
Gold is a very practical gift. Its money that is accepted everywhere and dont loose material or value.
Frankincense & myrrh are both used as perfume, incense and medicine. Thats, beauty, spirit and body.
They got wealthier in money, beauty, spirit and health. What is more practical and wise than that? Diapers?

Not so sure about the "Arrive on time" statement

For anyone unaware of it. The gifts of the Wisemen are believed by Biblical scholars to have financed the Holy family's trip into Egypt to avoid Herod's purge of young boys in an attempt to kill the child he feared would replace him as king.

At that time in history those gifts were very practicable.
