The Twelve Days of Kitschmas

The Ship of Fools is offering a line of gifts for the Twelve Days of Kitschmas, including the St. Sebastian Pin Cushion, the Maria Memory Stick, Christ on a Bike, and the post-ultimate gift, for the 13th day of kitschmas the walled nativity:

Walled Nativity
We give you the Walled Nativity, a none too gentle reminder of the 230-mile, six-metre high wall, topped with barbed wire and lined with guard towers, that encircles Palestine – and Bethlehem. As its purveyors, the Amos Trust, say, with not a little understatement: “This is a nativity set with a difference. In 2007 the wise men won’t get to the stable.”

At £12 for the small version, and £50 for the large, church version, the Walled Nativity is made all the more poignant for being made by impoverished wood-carvers in the town where Jesus the carpenter was born.
