This year Mandi and I had the honour of cooking Christmas dinner for her family.
We started with something called a “Duck-cat” which wasn’t a cat at all. But it was fresh. It would eventually be the “body” of Christ.
But first it needed a bath. And a full-fisted filking.
Fittingly, the head of the wee Jesus was made of lamb.
There was room in the Inn to lay the body to rest on a bed carrots. I meant to tell the inn-keeper the heat was really cranked up in there.
Despite the heat, we felt baby Jesus needed some swaddling clothes. Linus would have approved. Though he might not have chosen bacon.
Jesus had eye crusties after his nap.
A little gentle prodding with a butter knife took care of that. His halo of sausages needed a little goldening-up.
Away in a manger… nothing but a head.
Haloization… 25% … 50% … 75% … 85% …
HALOIZATION COMPLETE!
He looks so peaceful. No crying he makes. No crying did we make either. We were manger in a manger. So to speak.

Well… It was the best Christmas ever! We felt truly blessed to have those astonishing creative juices flowing in our kitchen …. and it tasted wonderful too! Thank you Jakob & Mandi
HALOIZATION COMPLETE!
Inspired stuff, my only problem is that every time I look at him I get hungry again. Are you going to attempt a crucifixion for easter?
I think the original idea was something of the like but decided to wait until Christmas and do the baby version.
Dear god, the horror! Looks like some horror game foe. But it IS awesome, nonetheless.
I think it looks a bit like the cover to “Fook” by 90′s industrial supergroup Pigface. http://www.chrisconnelly.com/files/fook.jpg
That “Fook”ing thing made me want to barf a little.

As an artist I SHOULD have an open mind. The creation is recognized as talented work. The humour seems specialized. Glad you had fun and enjoyed a family ‘Christmas’.
Hope you enjoy a healthy creative 2010.
Best to everyone.

I think “specialized” is as good a word to describe our humour as any.
If I find your “specialized” humor funny does that make me special?
btw its really “hard” to do inverted commas in the air whilst typing.
Thanks guys for a thouroghly festive chuckle.
