Who ate Baby Jesus? You may well ask yourself if you should become owner of this here nativity scene made entirely out of S'Mores.

A friend of mine took his five year old to a place that happened to have a nativity scene. The little boy stared for a minute and asked "Who's the fat baby in the cradle?"
To which his wise father replied "That's the Baby Santa."

Are we out of cheap plastic?

I got a snowman ornament from this product line from my inlaws a year or two ago. It may look like food, but it's just more cheap plastic.

My mother made a nativity set out of gingerbread one year. It involved a lot of sheets of gingerbread, a lot of careful trimming, and a lot of pasting together with frosting.

Needless to say, our nativity set didn't look like the one in the magazine. But, man, was Baby Jesus delicious.

"Who ate Baby Jesus" is now stuck in my head, to the tune of "Ruby Tuesday".

Why does the messiah have to be so damn catchy?

That question creates a picture of the "Mustard Man" (see FARK cliches) but stuffing his face full of smoreful baby Jesus.

Yes ColdChef, that was the perfect post.

I agree with gwint. It was Tom Waits - because Tom Waits for no man when it comes to confectionary divinity

One of my favorite episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm features an edible nativity scene paired with a clueless jewish guy for some hi-larious results. Man I love that show.

If you eat Baby Jesus, does he come back three days later?

Who ate Baby Jesus?

Thankfully the Virgin Mary was spared from such a fate.

However, the same cannot be said for the resurrection of Dale Earnhardt Jr.

When my kids and I made a gingerbread creche a couple years ago, we made the baby Jesus out of marzipan. I'm pretty sure nobody ate him.

Oddly, I realize now I don't remember what happened to that little baby Jesus... hmmm... (ominous music)

I remember a statue of Jesus dissappearing from the attic in my Rhode Island house. My parents don't even remember there ever being a statue of Jesus. sinners.*

*might explain why my sister saw a shadow of a horned man creep up the stairs many nights of her childhood. I saw it once and repented. (wet my pants)
