Is it just me or is there something just wrong about this ?:


Santa kneeling at the manger freaks me out for some reason. Did he catch a ride with the three wise men or what?

1. I wonder if he brought the infant messiah
an X-Box or an iPod? Myrrh, you know -- it's so '0.

11. Now you mention it ...
that little tableau could use a dose of Terry Jones and/or Terry Gilliam. The possibilities are endless!

16. I heard this on the radio yesterday
It's apparently an old version of Hre Comes Santa Clause....It says "Let's give thanks to the lord above because Sant Clause comes tonight"

I thought - "WHAT?????"

Then thought that I must the only person who thought it was weird.

Guess not!

8. No, that's pretty freaky.
It is one of my pet peeves when people mix displays like that. They have a manger in the corner and snow and reindeer all around it and santa on the roof or something.

What's next? Will the Easter Bunny be the next target?

14. Someone wrote a book about that.
I don't recall if it was written because of the figurine, of if the figurine was created because of the book.

But some lady from a church I served bought the book and presented it to me as something "special" that I could share with the kids. I stuck it in such an inconspicous spot, it'll be generations before anyone sees it again.

It does give me the creeps. :puke:

15. Believe it or not....it doesn't bother me!
I'm not Christian anymore, but I can understand this. In fact, I think it's kind of sweet.

Santa visits Baby Jesus. What could be better?
