Last summer I went to Montreal. My dad had been a few years ago, and he told me about this big crazy shrine called the Oratory of St. Joseph, on this spot where sick people were healed by praying to St. Joseph. Sounded interesting, so I decided to go check it out. Due to the language barrier (nobody there spoke English. nobody), not being Catholic, etc. I was having a really hard time figuring out what this was all about.
Then I saw a sign for a “museum” on the third floor of the building. Assuming it would be an informative look at WTF Is This Place About, Yo? I paid my $3 entrance fee and went in.
To discover that it was not a museum about the history of the shrine, it was a collection of Nativities from all over the world. And most of them were even worse than the ones mocked in that link.
Wow. The best part is that the chocolate and graham cracker are fake. They don’t even look convincing. They’re vague abstracted notions of what the chocolate and graham cracker components of a s’more should be.

Ashley, isn’t there a Gospel hymn that goes:
“S’more about Jesus let me know,
S’more of his grace to others show . . . “
