At Breakfast yesterday Partner’s friend spoke about her friend who grew up wearing an oversized glass eye so he could “grow into it”.
I nearly peed myself.
we had a family who had a nativity scene made out of blowmolded plastic. They had faded so much that the holy family had become sort of holy whitish blobs.
One year, they capitalized on this by turning them around and painting ghost faces on the backs, and using them as halloween decorations. When Christmas approached, they let the youngest in the family use fingerpaint to paint the faces and clothes back onto the figures for the season.
I just drove by to discover that this year Joseph was, based on facial features, chinese this Christmas. And Mary is now apparently a Native American. Strangest of all, Jesus seems to be a monkey, and his swaddling clothes apparently blue tarp and duct tape.
God bless them for making an effort, I suppose.
