At home we have set up the nativity scene with the usual mixes of what is in the wonderful Bible catalog of Christmas boxes. The Chinese characters mingle with those of Aunt Carmina, from a very nursery. … famous and Andalusian whose name I no longer remember. With what grace he carved the chickens. These coexist in apparent harmony with the figures mass-produced in Asia and painted with punches, and this does not matter, because the objects take on meaning shortly after their installation and become friends since they are the visual decor of our best moments. Each house has its particularities, its miseries, its smells, its love and its nursery.
Since we are Atlanticists, the Three wise men They come from the West, notably from the table lamp next to the sofa, due to the geostrategic needs of the living room. Then there are the new products each year. In Moncloa they have installed a nursery with saunas that shine with lights that sparkle in the distance on the mountain with LEDs of one thousand five hundred lumens, a Peugeot skids on the road and the kings are Melchor, Gaspar and Paco Salazar who to the left of the left consider “an individual”. It is curious that in the case of harassers, the corrupt and the murderers, the left does not use inclusive language, and thus we miss Irene Montero who speaks of the murderers, the murderers and the murderers. Or gangsters. This year, at home, we were tempted to put a member of ETA next to the shepherds. A good member of ETA, one of those nice state members of ETA who creates cycle paths and approves measures that protect citizens, as we heard in the Telepedro that Aberzale’s left was pacifist and that Ayuso kills more people than ETA.
I come here to reappropriate the heterodox nativity scenes, with each figure of his father and his mother, those in which the hen is larger than the shepherd, Herod’s palace on the cork mountain is the size of the four towers or the niche, depending on the case. Of course, all the characters have their heads stuck with superglue that flows seamlessly down their arms and knees, and every once in a while their heads come off and it’s unclear whether it’s a shepherd or St. John the Baptist. They decapitate themselves because, when we ask, no one has been there and we end up blaming the dog, who must surely have hit them with his tail. The angel seems to come from an “after”, there is a Playmobil washerwoman and, lost in the foam, little Gaspar who appeared in the roscón of the Three Kings 2021 wrapped in plastic among the cream, sucked in as if it were a piece of paper found in a suitcase from the flight from Medellín to the Barajas police station. There is a lying camel that seems dead, a bridge without a river or silver leaf, sheep that always fall on one side, snow, stale bread… I say that it is essential that each nativity scene in each house has its licenses and its symbolic particularities because there is no perfect Christmas, because on these dates we do what we can and because it is difficult to put up a nativity scene in a magazine, but the most important thing is to feel loved unconditionally by a small and helpless God, as we know. treats.
