CRAFTY Christmas constructors 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 Tan Y Ddol court, off Abbey Road in Llangollen. 

And residents have just put the finishing touches to their latest masterpiece. It's 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.

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.

The display has gone down a treat with local residents, who took to social media to praise it. 

One person said: "Brilliant - love driving past this on my way to work."

Another added: "Saw them this morning and they made me smile."
