So funny. I sat reading this when I couldn't sleep last night.
I find this one especially amusing.

If he clicks his heels 3 times and says "There's no place like home" does he return to the Vatican or Germany?

Amen. To symbolize that light in the sky color wise of a new dawn or something like that, isn't it?

I can just see it in the church bulletin: competition to design the new vestments, open to anyone 7 and under.

Wow, we have found some HORRIBLE vestments! Wonder who will win!

Some of those 'modern' ones are really bad.... A lot of those came in in the '60's and '70's but they haven't been tossed.... know I have been in parishes where they sat, sad and forelorn, in the back of the vestment cabinets.... no one wants to toss them (they are vestments, after all...), but no one wants to wear them, either! Maybe next year's ash wednesday pyre?

However.... got to admit that there are some modern vestments that are really attractive.... and a few of the older ones really were UGLY as well! And a few that were unintentionally funny!

Last Advent... one of the priests in our parish wore a gorgeous rose vestment that is probably about 100 years old...
He did look fantastic in it - rose goes well with his skin color... and I love the spiritual significance of the rose However.... we were advmiring it after mass (and it was beautiful... velvet, woven orphreys, etc.)... looked a lot like this one, except the design woven into the velvet was different:

Father commented, "I love this vestment, but I know why no one will wear this just before Christmas -- REINDEER!"

We looked more carefully, and as soon as he said it, we could see them.... prancing all over the vestment. They were Harts, actually (i.e., horned deer) but they DID look like reindeer... just an entire herd of them!

Here's similiar detail of peacocks & harts from a different vestment found on-line (except this one does have some liturgical imagery woven in with the beasties:
