Don't Eat Me Baby Jesus!

We went to Austin's "Trail of Lights" Friday night.  It was a lot of fun to see so many random things depicted in Holiday Lights, like an armadillo band, the twelve days of Christmas, Sponge Bob Squarepants, and Alien Santa.  There wasn't caroling per se, but when passing the XMas light Sponge Bob, the loudspeaker started playing the theme song and many people joined in.  I was never a fan, so I didn't know the words.  Something like "Who is the cleaning instrument under the sea? Sponge Bob square face.!"  Again, I wasn't a fan.

Near the back was the XMAS light nativity scene.  You might need to zoom in a bit on the picture,  but isn't that a monster baby Jesus?  I come from a different religious tradition, but was Jesus born at 110 pounds, like a colt?  I always thought it was a tiny baby in a manger, not a monster baby threatening Bethlehem with distruction.

Did the wise men bring presents to appease monster baby Jesus?  "Please don't stomp our cities, monster baby Jesus!  Here is all of our myhr!!!" "AAAARRRRR!!!  Baby Jesus Hungry!  Wants to Die for Your Sins!!! AAAAAARRRRRRR!!!"

 Speaking of things that want to eat you, I was riding my bike yesterday along Parmer way outside of town.  I guess that one might even call it "cycling."  I happened upon a herd of llama.  I stopped and they came right up to me.  Not remembering whether llamas were human flesh eaters, I was a bit unnerved by the white one.  It's either smiling at me or preparing to lunge.  You make the call. 

When these two turned toward each other, stuck their necks in the air, and emitted their "Come kill and eat this human" call, I got the HELL out of there.

Abby and Alexis told me later that llamas are herbivores.  I'm not so sure.  The way the looked at me, maybe they thought I was Herb.
