Christmas in Weird Germany 4: Evil Elves

| Holiday, Weird Germany

Animatronic figures have long since been a part of Christmas tradition. Usually there will be a cozy manger scene, where the animals might bob their heads or the like. There used to a be a Peter Pan display at the local mall when I was a kid. I always liked that one. You don’t see them quite as often these days, but I stumbled upon three in a window here in town. I’ll let the video speak for itself.

It’s a real shame I didn’t get footage before they changed the second scene. Seeing the kids wash their father was disturbing, but seeing them gyrate in bathrobes is almost as effective. I just noticed a baby passed out on the floor in that display. What’s that about?
