Stockings are clothes and they weren’t ready yet.

Looks like some kind of sox appeal.

If Adam came first, why isn’t his hair longer?

get thee behind me, Santa!

No wonder Lilith left. Also weren’t the first humans black.

Was the Garden of Eden in Burma? (Or Florida?) That looks like a Burmese Python. (Was it named ‘Monty’?

Well of course. They had no concept of what clothes are. Not even socks.

And I thought B.C. was anachronistic.

Early advertising agency. Been around ever since

Give the gift of knowledge.

Fairy tales upon fairy-tales.

Those socks are more tempting than the apples. Makes sense after walking barefoot over thorny grass

careful you 2. someone is STOCKING you. and really , it’s Eve’s fault anyway

Sorry folksSock it to me Satan

Wow, I didn’t know Krampus was in the Bible!

This should be framed and hung in a museum. I’d call it “Of Two Fairytales”.

I presume the stockings have apples in the toes? My mom always put an apple or an orange in the toes of our stockings to make them easier to fill.

Fits right in with the rest of the fairy tale.

Love it! Materialism/consumerism instead of love your neighbor as yourself!

If this is the first attempt that snake should still have legs. Unless … could it be that not every story is literally factual???

Those stocking should be bulging with at least one apple apiece.

Question I always wondered about: exactly who was supposed to eat the fruit of the two magic trees? And why plant them in Eden? Why not Tasmania or Alaska?

Those look like Santa’s boots. Guess the snake got hungry.

He got better at it during the 20th Century. Sniped it right out from under Jay’s nose,

That doesn’t look like a fig tree. And since the serpent was cursed to crawl on its belly after the incident, doesn’t that imply it had legs before?

Well, that’s about as reasonable as the fairy story as written in the Bible.

Christmas in the garden of Eden? How does that timeline work?
