Sybil Bruncheon's "Christmas Kitties Chaos in the Crèche!"... #1:

Gingey-Poo was totally enchanted by the funny little house that his human servants had surprised him with on the coffee table! And what a strange, yet amusing place to put it! Gingey always liked to be a part of any design decisions that were made... or rather "suggested" by his staff, and he spent the better part of the afternoon posing with the little figurines of people smiling, waving, mooing, or clutching their stomachs... whatever. Gingey's main concern was how beautifully he matched the overall color scheme of the little house and its people, how symmetrically he and the entire tableaux were presented, and how guests would come and pet him and tell him how pretty he was. There was just that stinking black and white pillow-thing still on the sofa... which he had warned them about before!... oh well... a little cat pee on it, and THAT would be THAT.

Sybil Bruncheon's "Christmas Bulletins From Out & About"... Wauseon, Ohio...

Breaking News from the Wilbur Wallerburton Elementary School Variety Players...

Mr. Herman Grabner, the drama teacher, has announced that for the Christmas Nativity Pageant, the role of King Herod will be played by Jeffy Chalmers because of his prematurely matured basso-baritone voice, and because his Ramses II costume is as close to a Judean King as the school can get right now with budget cuts.

Other cast members in the production include Carl Turph as Joseph, Mabel Haslip as the Virgin Mary, Georgie Malk as the sullen Innkeeper, his twin sister Inez as his grumpy wife, and Hester Dupling, Phil Kaston, Vera Buj, Nancy-Ann Norris, Perkin Gimph, Debbie Marcos, and several other grade schoolers as villagers, shepherds, local Bethlehem business persons, concerned and sore-afraid bystanders, and various animals milling about the stable, climbing over fences, and head-butting an annoying drummer boy, etc. The Hazleton triplets will play the three wise men; Stella, Dee-Dee, and Shirley-Jo as Balthazar, Melchior, and Caspar respectively…

Felix Mamburton returns yet again as the Angel of the Lord because of his unusual soprano voice which is still going strong even though Felix just celebrated his 17th birthday. Showtimes are at 6 and 10 with a cookie and hard cider reception after the later performance and a meet-the-cast question and answer symposium till midnight. Reservations are recommended… but may be ignored.

Sybil Bruncheon's Christmas Celebrations From Around The World... Zanesville, Ohio!...

The Veteran's Hall in conjunction with the local 4H Club, the Sons Of Italy, the Kiwanis Club, and the Touch-Mee/Feel-Mee Petting Zoo have all decided to produce this year’s Christmas pageant for the public. The script is an updated version of the classic Nativity. Here we see the arrival of the "three wise men"; they are from left to right "Meyer the Kosher Shoemaker", "Prince Theo of Pixie-Ville", and "Sandy the Man-Woman Who Smells Like Pumpkin-Spice Air Freshener".... the crowd in the background represents various barnyard animals “milling and low-ing” to and fro from their office jobs on the Holy Night. Oh, and there down in the front left of the photo is Mrs. Enid Gruler, the mayor’s wife, who is playing the Virgin Mary for the 65th time…

Sybil Bruncheon's "CHRISTMASES PAST!": Queen Elizabeth's Christmas Address in 1953...

….."Hello, my dear subjects! At this festive time of year, I am pleased to be speaking to you at my first Christmas as your Queen. Just last night, I was brought to a lovely re-enactment of the Nativity at a charming church in Havelock-on-Bunbury. At the end of the little play-lette, I walked up to the stage, and remember so well both the sweetness of that little baby and my SHOCK when I realized that it was being raised in a stable!!… A STABLE!... Can you imagine?! And in a MANGER!!!... with grass clippings! That had been on the GROUND!... and I SAID SO to his parents! Who were dressed very poorly, in what looked like bathrobes! And with no attractive accessories!‎... And WHY were there FARM animals milling about in there?? They are not hygienic!!!... all this milling and lowing!!!!, and NO SANITATION!... And at least have the sense to have EXOTIC animals around the child to stimulate his imagination!! Peacocks, and leopards, and… and....um...oh! A Gryphon!....and, oh what was that animal I shot in Kenya, Phillip??? Oh Yes!!!! A HYRAX!!!!... or was it an Ibex?....whatever! And what is that incessant DRUMMING?!?... have one of my ladies escort that dirty little boy OUT at once! Now Go! GO!!….."

Sybil Bruncheon's "Christmases Past!".... Prudholme's Falls, Kansas... The Home of Gaston Cruller:

       The home of Gaston Cruller. Gaston was born blind but had a wide circle of friends at the university where he taught Comparative Anthropological Historiography in a Geo-Literal Matrix...101. His colleagues felt that he always missed out on the immense beauty of the Christmas tradition because of his handicap and so they decided to surprise him by putting up a Christmas tree fully decorated and lit with tapers by the time he got home from evening classes.... His best friend, Ricardo Farabont, professor of Romance Linguistics & Limericks had invited everyone over...There was Phillip Coffey from the Archaeology of Housewares Department, his fiancee, Miss Gwedolyn Linkeny from Advanced Calculus & Cuisine, Dr. Klaybourne Fench of the Department of Particle (and Larger Pieces) Physics, and Edith Shmedski of the Doctoral Program of Home Ec. What a charming circle of loyal and loving friends they were, and more were expected within the hour.... 

      Sadly, one Christmas, while all of them went to the kitchen to begin assembling the refreshments and buffet supper to be served, Gaston wandered away to enjoy the tree with the only senses left to him.... smell, taste, hearing, and touch. While plucking various branches of the fresh evergreen to smell, and possibly eat, he accidentally ignited one of the nice angels in the branches that promptly plummeted down to “Bethlehem” and into the middle of the stable in the creche below... within seconds, most of the barnyard animals were incinerated along with two of the wise men (possibly Melchior and Balthazar according to investigators later.) The innkeeper and his wife were also badly burned along with various villagers who had come to see what was happening in the stable. The villagers were indeed “sore afraid”! 

     Fortunately, Mary, Joseph, and the Blessed Savior were thrown completely clear when the barn exploded.... two camels were lost, an ox and lamb, a small drummer boy, neighbouring hovels and cottages...all lost. ….Indeed, if Edith Smedski hadn't run in with a seltzer bottle, all of Bethlehem and the Holy Star itself might have been consumed! (Thankfully, her father had been a clown!) The place smelled of charred wood with a hint of myrrh, papier-mâché, and Elmer’s glue. Gaston was miraculously uninjured although the lime green plaid cravat he always insisted on wearing with his tangerine polka-dot waistcoat and purple elephant suspenders was singed beyond repair. His friends used it all as an excuse to buy him a new wardrobe to THEIR specifications.... and they decided a menorah might be a better choice for the next year... but, oh, how wrong they were.....
