Merry Christmas Baby (2)

Gold lame Elvis found in crib! 

It’s that time of year again. The Daily Mail has given out its Elvis sings Christmas cd, free! with the poisonous rag. Perhaps you are playing it now as the turkey roasts and the snow turns to ice. The fire is aglow. The tree is overburdened with tatty decorations made by small children, and surrounded in torn wrapping paper.

And in the Graves-Brown household, fimo golden Elvis has taken his rightful place at the cribside in the Nativity scene, replacing last year's Jailhouse Elvis. In these days of austerity and cuts, how joyous that an extra position has been created, and one of more substance and respectability. After all, we need all the wise men we can get.

An Elvisy Christmas to one and all.

Merry Christmas Baby: Jailhouse Elvis found in crib

Wise men say....
Archaeologist Paul Graves-Brown, editor of the wonderful Matter, Materiality and Modern Culture, has kindly drawn my attention to his 'traditional' Elvis, posted outside the stable bare in the Graves-Brown Nativity scene. Jailhouse Elvis as Wise Man? (Incidentally, Paul adds, he would have made Elvis out of Fimo but he ran out).
