Jesus reclines odalisque-style while flashing a peace sign in a severely rustic landscape.
OMG! That's not a red hat Joseph is wearing--it's a teeny ox and ass.

And...is the baby Jesus lying on a KIDNEY? And is that a heart up there...and maybe a bladder or lung?????????
You're right geezette--there's a whole body parts theme I hadn't even noticed.
Dare I mention the thing sticking out of Mary's hair? Your site is wonderful and full of fugly humor. My hubby laughed til he cried!
