Behold - the eighth wonder of the world... <snigger>
The above is a view from the front - showing the Rativity Scene in all its magnificent holy glory. Note how the "sheep" look like some mad concoction of Goat, Ankylosaurus and glass dog with "wool" over them. I can assure you this is just an optical illusion.
This one from above shows that no expense was spared in getting two crappy pieces of sandpaper to look like the desert floor, some "brushwood" in the corners and a beautifully fashioned "stable" made from the finest British Oak...
"We three Rats of Orient Are... blah blah blah and blah blah blah". Look at the sumptous costumes, hand-made in silks, velvet and real gold (and feathers!) to ensure these 3 rat kings look a million dollars (each). The "camel" in the background looks upon the scene of regal blessings with almost giraffe-like indifference...
And last but not least, finally the baby Rattus Christ in his swaddling clothes with his little God-like Rat tail clearly visible. Mary and Joseph looking on in awe and admiration at the birth of their little baby and future ruler of the universe...
I hope you have enjoyed this slide show of the Rativity scene.
