It is no longer tatty. It has had some restoration work done on the figures.

Shame the blessing of the crib isn't part of the switch on any more but maybe it's not PC. But strange considering that Christmas wouldn't exist but for Christ.
Well, the Pagan festival of the winter solstice would still exist.
Perhaps that would be the commercial giant that Christmas is had Christianity not taken over the West?

But it wouldn't be Christmas it would be Yule and it wouldn't be on the 25th.

I hate to sound horribly like the accywebbers I normally mock but if you had read the entire thread you would see someone mention that huge efforts have been made this year to restore the statues that normally go inside it. therefore it should be an 'outstanding' effort, not a tatty one :P

There's usually one in each town: Accrington, Church, Oswaldtwistle etc.


I haven't seen one in Ossy yet this year. I know it got smashed up last year, it was in the paper. I wonder if it will be replaced.

The Ossy one had restoration work done on it too - I hope it wasn't all done in vain.
