Wednesday weirdness

I’m old enough to remember the days when the only option in nativity sets was the standard humanoid Mary, Joseph, Jesus, shepherds, wise men, and angels. Nowadays nativity sets come in a bewildering array of themes. Animal-themed sets seem to be especially popular:

    I adore all of the snowmen ones, the pissed off owls and the various woodland animal one, which looks so pagan!

    These are fun. I like the mice and the cats the best. But the coke cans and camel cigarettes are the funniest.
