You ever notice how nativity scenes are like the original reality TV? I mean, you've got this baby who's the star of the show, and everyone's just gathered around like it's the season finale of "The Bethlehem Bunch." But let's talk about the real drama - the conflict that goes down in those scenes.
You've got Mary and Joseph looking all peaceful, the wise men bringing gifts, and then there's that one guy who just can't get along with everyone else—the donkey. I mean, it's a nativity scene, not an episode of "Animal Kingdom." The donkey's standing there like, "Why is everyone looking at me? I'm just trying to carry my load in peace."
I imagine the conversation between the donkey and the wise men goes something like this:
Wise Man 1: "We brought gold."
Wise Man 2: "We brought frankincense."
Donkey: "I brought stubbornness and a tendency to kick when annoyed."
Talk about a clash of personalities. It's like the original Real Housewives of Bethlehem. I can see the donkey getting his own spin-off series: "Donkey Diaries: Kicking It in Bethlehem.
Let's talk about nativity scene decor. People go all out during Christmas, right? But have you ever noticed that nativity scenes are like the minimalist art of holiday decorations? It's just a baby, a couple of shepherds, and some wise men. I mean, where's the festive flair?
I went to a friend's house, and their nativity scene looked like it was missing something. I asked, "Are you sure this is complete?" They said, "It's the holy family." I'm thinking, "Yeah, but where's the holy sparkle? Where are the disco balls and the twinkle lights? It's the birth of the savior; let's make it fabulous!"
I want a nativity scene that looks like it's been styled by Martha Stewart on a sugar high. Throw in some Christmas elves doing the cha-cha and a reindeer playing saxophone for good measure. Now that's a nativity scene I'd pay admission to see.
You know, I've often wondered if there were auditions for the roles in the nativity scene. Can you imagine the casting call?
Director: "We need a Mary and Joseph. Must be able to convincingly look like you just gave birth in a barn and traveled on a donkey."
Actor 1: "I once played a pregnant teenager on a soap opera. Close enough?"
Actor 2: "I have experience riding horses. Does that count for the donkey part?"
Director: "Perfect! You're hired!"
And then there's the casting for the wise men.
Director: "We need three wise men. Bonus points if you can bring gifts."
Actor 3: "I've got a gift card to Starbucks. Will that do?"
Director: "Close enough. You're in!"
I can just picture the rejected auditions: "Sorry, but your camel impression needs work, and we can't have a shepherd who's allergic to sheep.
Have you ever thought about nativity scene conspiracy theories? I mean, we're all familiar with the standard setup—the baby in the manger, the wise men, the shepherds—but what if there's more to the story?
I have a theory that there was a fourth wise man who got lost and ended up at a different baby shower. He shows up late with a gift card, and everyone's like, "Dude, you missed it. Jesus already got gold, frankincense, and myrrh. You're a day late and a dollar short."
And let's not forget the possibility of undercover animals. Maybe there was a nativity scene spy pigeon keeping an eye on things. The other animals would be gossiping like, "Did you see that pigeon? He's definitely working for King Herod."
I'm just saying, there's more to the nativity scene than meets the eye. It's like the original Christmas episode of "The X-Files.
