decorating for Christmas #3
Years ago, on a business trip to New Hampshire, I visited an antique store and bought five of the figures to a German papier-mâché Nativity set: two shepherds, two villagers and a wise man. Since then, I have searched eBay to complete the set and last year I succeeded with the purchase of a cow, two sheep and a donkey. Along the way, I acquired several figures from the same Nativity but at different scales. Now I have quite a crowd visiting the manger! And I have two Mary figurines which may be disturbing but I can’t decide which one to keep …

All my shepherds, villagers, wise men, angels, manger animals, and, of course, the Holy Family, wish you a Merry Christmas!

Haha…..I am taking part in my church’s Sunday School Christmas play this year and due to some reason only known to the director, there are only 2 wisemen but we also get to have two stars! I guess there is not so much demand to be wise but everyone wants to be a star!

Ha! As you will see from my post tomorrow, I have another Nativity set with two drummer boys, because I have one that belonged to my Mom! It is true, everyone wants to be a star! Have fun in the play. Does the squirrel get to sit in the manger straw?

I am one of the shepherds but I believe I am a wise shepherd cause I chose a role with no lines to remember!

No lines is good. You can relax and enjoy the experience!
