At least a month ago, I was in Value Village, looking through all the Christmas stuff, and I came upon the most hilarious nativity scene EVER! It was laughable, homemade, and just so so sooooo ugly. Definitely the artistic abilities that only a mother could love.

Then, just days ago, I was back at VV and – lo and behold – it was still there!!! Cher was with me, and we were laughing SO hard, debating whether or not either of us in all of our poorness could justify this purchase. In that moment, an elderly lady came by and insisted we use on of her coupons so we could buy it. So, for $3, plus a coupon, it came home with me.

Maybe that kids mother didn’t love this nativity scene, but THIS mother does!!!

So you’ll notice that Mary is STOKED to have just given birth to the Son of God. Like, STOKED! I can’t guarantee I would be quite so friendly after labouring on a camel, but I love that this kid had that in mind. Meanwhile, Joseph…

It appears he is a touch camera shy, but also quite delighted with the birth of his son.

Its an altogether happy scene, and I have zero regrets bringing it home. Someone needed to love it. And I do.

Also, fun fact. I tried to post this to a Facebook page centred specifically around funny second hand finds, but it was deemed too religious, and my post was declined 😂 Goodness. We can’t even laugh at this without being offended?! Yikes yikes yikes. I hope you can all share a laugh with me either way!
