A Very Bogan Christmas — Naomi Kramer

This short story is a new retelling of the oldest Christmas tale of all.



What would happen if Jesus were born not in 4BC in Bethlehem, but in modern-day Ipswich, Queensland (famous for its historic architecture and alcohol-sodden population), in Australia? Would the virgin Mary truly be virginal? How would she react to an angel of the Lord?



If these questions have plagued and perplexed you... this is the story for you.



Warning: This story may offend almost anyone. It is not suitable for children, the very religious, or those who hold traditional Christmas stories dear. Contains rude words.
