Christmas isn't Christmas until the Nativity has been set up.
...or Nativities....
As a Christian and a pastor's wife, I've been asked the question so many times, "Do you put of a Christmas tree or a nativity?"...
that is such an interesting question to me. I never thought of only doing one, not both...
We do both...
one tree and multiple nativities all over the house! (I guess I have a few tiny fake tress scattered around the house also)...
I see no reason why we would have to choose one over the other.
Anyways...
I love my collection of nativities...
and I decided to give you a tour of them over the next few days/week...
this first one I picked up at a weird yard/book sale thing that we went to a few years ago. It was a house & property that had 1000's of books, bookshelves everywhere, inside and outside all under tarps and easy-up's, etc... and most of them were for sale...it was the oddest thing...
anyways, the girl child pointed out this glass nativity sitting on top of some books, I asked the lady how much for it and she said I could just take it...okay!
Not all the pieces were there, I don't think, sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a Joseph, Shepherd or wise-man...I feel like this one is missing Joseph and Shepherds...
I set it up this year in our kitchen window on a cake stand. I had some cranberries that I didn't use at Thanksgiving (yes, they are real)...and then some moss that I found in a cupboard in the garage, not sure where that came from. But, anyways...I just threw them together for a fun little display...
and here is my whole kitchen window...(with a small fake tree in the back right corner!)...
Do you have more than one Nativity set?
Where do you display it/them?
Merry Christmas...
