Halloween Creche

What else could be making our Halloween night so full but a "traditional" living nativity. Participants were encouraged to costume themselves and stand in for the recognizable characters from a creche.

Most of the choices were logical. There was an angel, a wise man, Mary (wearing blue and sporting a beard), Joseph (not pictured, sorry Wil), even a donkey.

There were also opportunities to buck tradition in favor of more creative interpretation. Standing in for baby Jesus is Aaron. Aaron dressed as Hugh Hefner for the night. His lovely wife, Rachel, is a Playboy Bunny. My guess is she's a bunny that was present at the birth of Christ. The bowl on baby Jesus' tummy? That's for trick-or-treat candy.

Monkey-Girl and I were invited to participate, but Halloween being on a Wednesday can sure hobble the celebration. Besides which, we took a pregnancy test and found out we were going to be parents that night. Cut us some slack!

I think I played Mary the way she was meant to be!

A more fitting Mary I haven't seen . . . today.
