why were the Magi supposed to be such famed gift-givers anyway? gold, frankincense and myrrh were just hard assets. it's like getting cash except you basically have to take the extra step of selling it to somebody to have money to buy the shit you want

Seriously, poor Mary- couldn't one of them have brought her a nice casserole so she wouldn't have to cook for a day or two? Or maybe like an extra baby gro- think practical y'all. Then again, maybe the shepherds had dinner covered. They brought a ton of lamb...

*Mary unwraps a bundle* "D'oh! Gold ingots? I wanted a casserole!" *Mary's brain* "You fool, an ingot of gold can be exchanged for many casseroles" *suspicious* "Go on..." "Precious metals are a near universal medium of exchange for goods and services" "Woo-hoo!"
