As I coast around the interwebs looking for these things, I have to admit to a bit of relief that some searches come up empty. Not finding viable entries for categories such as nativity bongs, patriotic nativities, nativity-on-a-stick, and cheese nativity is oddly heartwarming.

This tree skirt has embedded fiber optic lights, so the stars twinkle.
And there’s a matching fiber optic wreath! We live in a golden age.
Two examples of the nativity scene with giant angel motif.
“Not like I was using my legs or anything…”
You know what this needs? Fiber optics. And moving wings. Yes.
Yeah, I know, I used that joke in 1.0. I only have one joke, ok?
