My only Christmas decoration so far (not OT)

I haven't set this up in a few years but I wanted to see it this year.
If you can't tell, in the manger is a kitten. I should probably
rearrange the figurines a little better so all can be seen better. I
just love this. The creche I ordered from eBay, handmade. The figurines
came from a friend a few years earlier. They needed just the right
creche to display them in.

Very sweet!

My nod to decorating is this:

It's a bunch of fabric ornaments in a red glass bowl. Bowl courtesy of
birthday flowers from John last summer.

And I set up the small ceramic tree (my oldest brother made it for our
mom back in 1966) on the table by the front door:

Happy Holidays, everyone.

One of the souvenirs among my cat collection is a miniature
matchbox/music box with a manger scene featuring cats. (From Belgium,
IIRC.) You wind it up and it plays a Christmas carol, when opened.

Hmm. although I love cats, I am not in agreement with putting a kitten in
the manger that is so important to Christians at this time. sorry. Doesn't
matter to me much but my family would be horrified. Bad taste.

I remember reading a Doonesbury cartoon where the role of baby Jesus
was played by a 40 watt light bulb. I think most folks would consider
kitten manger scenes well within the bounds of good taste. I
personally think that it's adorable.But kittens are designed to be
adorable so it's tough to think otherwise.

I wasn't raised in a religious environment so kittens in a manger
doesn't bother me a bit.

My little music-box has the entire holy family as cats. I can't imagine
anyone objecting, but then I'm not all that ultra-religious. (I
certainly admire the Pope for telling that grieving little boy that he
would see his dog again in Heaven - that all God's creatures are welcome
there.)

I'd like to see a more or less conventional manger scene with a kitten
curled up next to the baby.
