- My sister asked me to set up the creche over the holidays to properly
- set the mood for the upcoming holiday celebrations.
-
- "What's a creche?" I asked, thinking it was some kind of disease like
- crabs. She explained with exasperation in her manner to me.
-
- "Oh yeah" I said.
-
- "It's in the attic. Go get it."
-
- I didn't find the creche in the attic, but I found all my old Star Wars
- toys. Good enough.
-
- So I set it up next to the door:
-
- THE STAR WARS CRECHE
-
-
- Wise Man #1: Darth Vader
- Wise Man #2: Obi Wan Kenobi
- Wise Man #3: Yoda
-
- Camel #1 and #2: Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder (Obi and Yoda)
- Camel #3: Banthu Beast
-
- Sheepherders: Sandpeople and Jawas
- Sheep: Stormtroopers (3) on all fours
-
- Gifts for Jesus: A lightsabre and two blasters
-
- Angels: Boba Fett (Suspended with his rocket pack thingy), Shock Troop
- Stormtrooper (because of the white cape).
-
- The guiding star: TIE Fighter
-
- Virgin Mary: Princess Leia
- Virgin Joseph: Han Solo
-
- Baby Jesus: R2D2
-
-
- My sister didn't find it funny. "You shouldn't make fun of Jesus," she
- admonished, "he died for all of our sins!" So I put R2D2 and pals away and
- ate all the Christmas cookies she was baking.
