Face it: most of the nativity scenes out there suck. The Squidtivity isn’t bad, but it still doesn’t convey the true message of the holidays.
So I made my own.
Have a squamous Christmas and a rugose New Year!
May your days be wan and miasmal, and may all your Christmases be cacodæmoniacal
That popping sound you hear is Bill Donohue’s head exploding…
For this effort alone, PZ, you should be eaten first.
Charles Darwin!
That’s Charles Darwin holding the skull of one of his enemies.
Where is the ‘Caga Nei’? Or is that still only in Catalan nativities?
Baby Jesus’ beginning in a warm little pond.
Well hey, earth’s not as boring as expected…
Glen Davidson
That is just creepy.
Ever seen a crucifix? Now tell me my little diorama is creepy.
Crucifixes? They’re just zombie Jewsicles. Appetizing, not creepy.
One of the crucifixes in my childhood home contained an Extreme Unction kit.
My brother and I used to play with it.
Beat that.
This is SO not shopped.
Needs a krampus.

Many years ago when middle spawn was 6 years old, we were driving past a church with a several story high cross in front of it.
“Look Mom, look!” he said from the back seat “There’s one of those things they hang dead people on.”
Every Nativity scene I ever saw was somewhere between grotesque and downright awful. Especially the “live” ones.
The smaller nativity scenes always look vaguely like those fancy chess sets you see in catalogs. I’m forever opening with “Baby Jesus to King 4.”
Killed By Fish
Every nativity scene needs one of these.

I took a crucifix and made it better. Really it was Bill Donahue who inspired me to do it.
Even the bacon and sausage nativity scene from last year?
It’s the Horrified B-Movie victims! We have most of this stuff! Should make one of our own! :)
Perhaps not as good as yours, but in the spirit of the season:

I’m reminded of when the young Richard Owen stole a head to dissect it… :-)
Best thing you’ve ever said. Thread won. Keep going, and I’ll nominate you for Molly.
Wrong. Krampus day is December 5th.
David:
Glen Davidson is already an OM.
As Dread Cthulhlu rose from the waves of R’lyeh he spotted Charles Darwin holding the skull of one of his enemies and contemplating, and the Dread Lord from beyond the stars, after eons of brooding in his necropolis, at long last knew fear, and fled, lest Darwin the God-Slayer come upon him.
Thus, Darwin saved Christmas.
Bwahahahaha!
Coolest nativity scene ever.
Darwin holding the skull of one of his enemies… Superb.
Happy holidays, try not to spend all of them straight and sober (:
Snif! That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me at this time of year.
PZ:
*clears throat*
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
But does the skull have an orangutan’s jaw? (No, I will not name the hoax — I don’t want to summon that here).
@ #14:
Maybe “King’s Sheep” to K4? We can’t have baby jeebus as a pawn, now! (And yerz gotta begin with 8 of ’em.)
@ #17:
Awfluller & awfuller! Don’t recall those. Must have had a defensive implosion so’s I’d forget! Wow! The awful – how it stings! Please don’t do that again! What did I ever do to you?
Okay, where in hell can I get a figurine of Charles Darwin holding the skull of one of his enemies.
You forgot the prism and alembic.
Oh. So I confused him with someone else twice. ~:-|
Week saved.
