Categories: Whatever

Nativity scenes are a staple at many homes in the Christmas season. Whether they're realistic or stylistic, these portrayals of the manger are supposed to remind us of the true meaning of the holiday, in case we haven't watched Charlie Brown recently.

Most nativity scenes are straightforward models, maybe with real straw and ceramic figures. But some are....out there. Like these ten:
