Excellent answers. Your # 7 is quite impressive, though not what I intended. My bad, not yours. I erred in using the temple menorah in place of the proper 9 place Hanukkah menorah, which means that there is still one missing reference. Nevertheless, should I ever get around to casting one of these, I will gladly send you one ;) (FYI, I have revised the image accordingly)
...ok, so...Is it maybe that the Buddha’s sportin’ one of those mystic warrior armband tattoos of a Celtic knot—even though the Celts supposedly didn't do tattoos but still gets the Pagan thing in there kind of thing?
Again, a spirited effort, but having the benefit (or is it curse?) of knowing exactly what I am thinking, the 9th reference is the 3 trees w red decorations, one centered w blue and 3 with green - Happy Kwanzaa! Technically, since the pole behind the Buddha is aluminum, I suppose Festivus is included as well.
Ya know—I looked at those trees, and the obvious difference of coloration, and I still didn't get it :/ And I should've known, what—you with your “micrurus banding” an’ all. Ha! This is wonderful!
Nine beliefs or traditions are illustrated. I bet no one can explain the ninth one...

ReplyDeleteHappy Holistic Holidays to you as well.

ReplyDeletewhat can I say - obscure references on the most obscure site on the web, go figure ;)
DeleteOf course, I could nit-pick and say that the middle candle in Kwanzaa is supposed to be black—not blue, (like I knew that).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the challenge, that was fun!
I'm still slightly concerned about those $ signs, though. Are we to take it that they represent the tradition of the commercialization of xmas?
