A vet near us has 4 statues in front of her store. They’re concrete & each about the size of a real Shetland pony or beef calf: 6-ish feet long & 3-ish ft high at the shouder.
There’s a lion, an elephant, a hippo, & a rhino. They’re standing in a group a few feet apart more or less facing the street. And each month they get decorated in the appropriate holiday attire. Lights, bonnets, wreaths-as-necklaces, etc.
We were thinking of having a triceratops and the stegosaur in the manger instead of the Ox and the Ass. And then you could have a pterosaur flying overhead in place of an angel.
Then you could have the antlered pig being lead by a swineherd (instead of sheep being led by shepherds).
This lead Pepper Mill to break out in song (from The Sound of Music):
High on a Hill was a Jewish Swineherd.
Soo-ee soo-soo-sooee-soo-soo-soo-EE-oo
…which is wrong on many different levels.
If that surprises you then clearly you haven’t been to Home Depot recently.
My personal favorite had Santa leaving the chimbleywith his derriere aflame and Dasher standing there with a fire extinguisher.
But some are pure [WTF?] like yours (A cow, or a pig with little red hats, a peacock). The light up pink elephants must be for New Years Day? And I totally get how one might want the light up pink flamingo but the toucan?!?
Theres a cactus, and did someone mention hippo and rhino? And the Christmas Toad, well, of course. . .
You know, the dinos being present at Christmas would be right with the belief that the Earth is only 6000 years old and people existed alongside the dinos.
A dino creche set would make quite a statement with my church neighbors.
I have plenty of room for it. There are 2 vacant cubes right next to mine, plus a nice spot on top of some cabinets under some big windows. That would be the best place; I could share my Xmas Steggy with my coworkers and random passers-by at the same time!
