This guy's been wandering about West Hollywood as Jesus for some 5 years.
He primarily sticks to Sunset Blvd and the tour buses love him.
He will often strike a Jesus-y pose while the tourists snap pics in a frenzy.
You can literally hear them collectively think: Only in LA.
Well, yesterday as I was walking along Sunset I saw him approach.
He has perfected the Jesus glide - he actually looks like he's walking on water.
Anyway, without hesitation I asked, "Mind if I get a picture with you?"
I was only thinking of the cause it might stir when I posted it on Facebook.
He replied in a low saintly monotone, "Not at all, my child."
After the quick pic I realized that his birthday was 12 days away and said,
"Hey, let's not forget that 'Jesus is the reason for the season'."
Oh dear, I've taken to quoting Jesus bumperstickers to, well - Jesus.
He reached out his hand as if to bless me and said, "That's right, my child."
He then took a generous swig from his giant-sized Starbucks coffee...
Clearly satisfied he dropped the Jesus schtick as he cooed,
"Actually, this pumpkin spice latte is the 'reason for the season'."

Get it? Cuz the pumpkin spice latte is seasonal.
And Christmasly delicious.
