Two Crappy Christian Christmas Gifts

Last weekend my family went to Santa Claus, Indiana.

You would never guess this, but the town of Santa Claus is kind of a boom town during the Christmas season. Imagine a place where everyone's Christmas spirit matches that of the Griswold's and Buddy the Elf's and you will begin to fathom the Christmas cheer there.

The fat man in a red suit is king in the town.

But it just so happens to be a great place to find Crappy Christian Christmas Gifts as well. The only thing that would have made the town better is if there had been a Cracker Barrel.


How about this tree topper?

Doesn't that make you nervous about spending time in heaven?

Heaven is going to be a strange place, if it is filled with half-naked kids floating on clouds.

Who would want that thing on their Christmas tree? And how is that even legal?



It's not that this statue is so bad...okay, this statue is bad.

Why is Mary and Joseph color coordinating this thing?

Where in the Bible does it say that Joseph was a worship pastor who participated in NoShavember? Look at that v-neck and the Burks. My wife has those same sandals in different colors. Not to mention the flowing hair and that he is wearing more makeup than Mary.

And Mary, everybody knows you don't swaddle Sweet Baby Jesus while he is sitting up. Put some clothes on the Messiah. He is going to get all itchy.

This might be the only place where the Sweet Baby Jesus becomes Rock Star Baby Jesus. Look at the Justin Bieber hair. So we are still going with Jesus was white with blondish hair? And he is even waving to his adoring fans.

If this is the Holy family, God could have picked better parents than Mary and Joseph. Jesus is like one-year-old and he is still in the manger. Come on Mary and Joseph spend a little bit of gold the wise man gave you.

If you like this statue, it can be yours for a mere $1,300. No too bad considering it is a great conversation starter and is truly unique.
