Fasten your seatbelt…there’s a LOT of them.

 

And, I thought I had uncovered all the pork-based nativities…I was wrong!

Last year’s pork based nativity (with sauerkraut…)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This year’s festive ‘special’…  (all together now… “bleeauughhh”)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Butter!

“Spread the Word!”

or

“I can’t believe it’s Not Jesus!”

or…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cookies!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(and where do you keep them?  In here of course!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cake!

Scanning the options of Nativities made out of Food, Nativities made out of (un)natural materials, and Nativities Featuring Unusual Characters, I think we’ll go for the latter this week… Read on!

 

“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying… Mahna Mahna (doo doo doo dodoo)”

 

 

 

”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“MammaMary!” (or comment with your own appropriate Mario quote)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Born in a barn, yes.  Born to cowfolk?   Also yes, apparently.

 

 

(“and suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, ‘Yeeehaaaaw”)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trolls.  Naked little trolls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, in this one it’s not so much the characters that are interesting, but that the characters are portraying scenes of their very own story on their clothing (in the days before ipods and facebook, i guess).  The best part is the very politically correct “Seasons’ Greetings” above the scene.  I guess someone figured it was easier to market this manger scene if it didn’t limit itself to saying “Merry Christmas” or anything specific like that .

They couldn’t find the LIttle Drummer Boy, so they sent the Big Bagpipe Man instead

 

Unlikely places to have a baby -

In a cob of corn…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a green pepper…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a Cactus…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally…

Netfiling

Joseph and Mary decide to save themselves the hassle of the journey, and netfiled their taxes instead (I wonder if they skyped the angel chorus to the shepherds on their iphones?)

 

 

 

judy Humour Files Advent, Little Drummer Boy, Nativities

This feature first appeared during Advent on ‘generation’ in 2006, and we have featured a few extraordinary nativities in past years (such as, manger scene made out of butter, cupcake creche, and the truly remarkable bacon, sausage and sauerkraut nativity).

For Advent 2011, we bring you weekly themed selections – with some re-posts from our first offering, and some new ones to boggle the mind.  Visit the humour pages to see the updates, several times a week during Advent.

To kick us off, an Irish flavour, including the three wise…leprechauns?…bearing gifts of pot-of-gold, clover and what appears to be a Guiness.
