In this painting, Baby Jesus returns to Mary after a night of debauchery with two hung-over angels. The angel on the right smeared her lipstick getting sick outside the manger.

Mary knows what's up but she doesn't care. She knows everyone's jealous and wondering how she stayed in shape and stretch mark free after having sweet baby Jesus.
