I have wanted to do this for some time.
Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) believes that the neighbors would burn crosses on our lawn, but…
I will need Three Wise Penguins, Mary Penguin, Joseph Penguin and Baby Jesus Penguin.
How many shepherd penguins?
Who have I forgotten, a Little Drummer Penguin?
Baby Jesus should be an egg.
Morgan Freeman should be the angel floating around up in the air giving the “March of the Penguins” spiel.
An ox, a lamb and an ass frozen in a block of ice?
Three or four different types of fish?
^That’s good! Shows initiative.
Instead of a manger (not needed since the ungulates are frozen), have Baby Jesus Egg sitting on Joseph Penguin’s feet.
An ice cave instead of a stable? (Not really canon)
Sorry, no polar bears. Gary Larson got a raft of crap for this.
Polar bears are North pole, Penguins are South pole.
I must keep this accurate!
It’s on a stable ice shelf. (Hard to find these days.)
The Lord moves in mysterious ways!
ETA: You could always make the shepherds Jacques Cousteau and David Attenborough.
Don’t forget Werner Herzog!
Instead of a polar bear, maybe a leopard seal with a Santa Cap? (Hmm…on second thought, maybe not. Leopard seals and penguins don’t really get along too well…)
You forgot the Angel Penguins. Gloria in Egg Shells each Day-O, to quote Sandra Boynton.
Oh yes, thanks!
Will there be a sound system playing selections from Happy Feet? I would go with a few polar bears for the kids, and fur covered coconut trees.
Seriously though, make sure your home insurance will cover this.
dammit.
But of course, I’m used to seeing penguins on the sands of the Middle East…playing drums. :dubious:
Pa rumpa pum pum.
Herod the Great:
“Peng-oo-ins is practically chickens!”
Joseph, at the prospect of the Flight into Egypt:
“Oooooh, I dyyying!”
^
“Hoboken!! Oooo, I’m dying again!”
I knew I shoulda made that left turn at Albuquerque.
How did St. Bugs get into this?
In 8 Ball Bunny (YouTube link), Bugs attempts to escort a penguin home. Hijinks ensue in one of Bugs’s rare performances as the Butt Monkey (Warning: It’s a trope!)
In light of this scripture, Bugs is obviously the guiding star.
I’m still in a perverse mood, so…
Why not anticipate the neighbors and set up a burning cross nativity on your lawn? When they complain then you can make them happier by replacing it with your preferred pengie nativity.
HTH
