In the time of St. Therese, eight days before Christmas the Carmelites "drew by lot" little "tickets" (small bits of paper).  On each ticket was written the vehicle by which the nun who drew it would "go to the crib" of the newborn Jesus.  The vehicles include a boat, a wheelbarrow, an automobile, an elevator, and more.  Please see the tickets drawn by the Lisieux Carmelites and choose one for yourself.
