but it’s a christmas lawn ornament, showing (can you believe it?) the flogging of jesus on the way to the cross. Yeah, the cat nativity is probably worse. The nativity kitchen timer (ding-ding! baby jesus is born!): let’s get to it! merry christmas all, and enjoy or be horrified by this weird collection of nativity oddness.

if anything, this is a roundabout way of drawing attention to Emmanuel, God with us (albeit, in a strange way!).Įnough pre-amble. i don’t believe this list detracts from what i believe to be one of the most significant moments in human history, when God became a human. however, alert reader “joan from the detroit ‘burbs” pointed me to a website with these kinds of nativities, and i just have to include one or two of them, because they made me laugh out loud (proving that i cannot effectively draw the line).Īnd a quick word to my christian brothers and sisters (i am one of you!): i believe that the One who created laughter and humor and mouths that involuntarily curl into a smile loves laughter. in other words, i haven’t included photos of the dozens of lego nativities, superhero nativities, star wars figurines nativities, barbie doll nativities, coke can nativities, alcohol bottle nativities, and others i’ve received. I have one primary rule for inclusion (which i break a couple times because i can’t help myself): i only include nativities that were made as nativities.

and some, well, rock.īut you’ll have to be the judge, i suppose. so there’s no question about it: some are horrible and tacky. then, as the list has grown, i’ve stumbled on some that i think are absolutely brilliant in one way or another. for starters, i’ve grown fond of some of them over time.

for the 2017 list (now with 77!), click here.Įach year i’ve posted an expanding list of “the worst nativity sets.” but i have to be honest with you and write that i can’t really label all of these “worst” anymore.
