* The shepherds, surrounded by sheep, rinse out their socks ready for Christmas and hang them to dry on the fence.
* An angel looks down on the tableau from above.
* Some handy signs around Elvis.
The crafty Christmas constructors of Tan Y Ddol have been busy again producing what must be their most adventurous seasonal tableau to date.
Over the past few years they've set the festivities off in style with a series of ingenious creations outside their court off Abbey Road.
They've just put the finishing touches to their latest masterpiece - a three-part nativity scene featuring the Three Kings - including Elvis, the King of Rock 'n' Roll - and a group of shepherds washing their socks by night in a corruption of the famous hymn lyrics.
And presiding over the whole seasonal scene from a perch atop a brick pillar is a magnificent angel.
A close-up look shows a couple of clever signs on the Three Kings scene, one held by Elvis declaring there's "No Room at the Heartbreak Hotel" and another, on the wall, pointing the way to Bethlehem.
