Kitsch? Cute? Blasphemous?

This four-piece S'mores nativity set includes S'more Mary wearing a blue head piece with her arms outstretched welcoming the new S'more King lying in the manger. Joseph stands back observing the scene before him traditionally dressed in a green head piece and holding his staff. The 5.5” S'mores nativity crèche makes a magnificent backdrop for this display.

Have a look. Then, visit some truly creative creche figures at Washington National Cathedral's annual creche exhibit. There's a magi made of cornhusks from Nepal, a shepherdess made of bread dough from Ecuador, a Christ Child carved from the root of a Costa Rican coffee plant, and a sheep made of a discarded soda can from Kenya.

All this and more, right here.
