Gro Dahle skriver om jula så det varmer, så det glitrer. Og så du kan få kuldegys. Jula er en tid for mirakler og sju slag og snø og sammenbrudd og tur med hunden og stjernenatt og gaver og gammelt agg og krangler og fødsel og tårer. For tida rundt jul er så tett. Av forventning, glede, skuffelse. Her er familier som samles rundt et stort bord og mange tradisjoner. Her er Maria som skal føde og ikke helt forstår hvordan hun kunne bli gravid. Som alltid hos Gro Dahle finner vi det høystemte og hverdagslige, det fine og det vonde, side om side.

Stakkars jomfru Maria, som hele tida må unnskylde seg. Ellers gir Gro Dahle ikke mange grunner til å stresse til jul. Hun lister opp lover mot å koke mandelpoteter, løfter fram ensomme juleopplevelser og alle slags rom i huset og hvordan jula kommer til alle. Skal tenke litt mer over dikta og skrive mer fyldig omtale.
