Nn is for Nativity

Nativity is the story of the very first

Christmas when baby Jesus was born.
Many people like to set up nativity scenes in December
to help them remember why we celebrate Christmas.  

 Once upon a time, long, long ago Grandpa and
 I bought our very first nativity scene. It is so
"precious" to us that we have been getting it out

  to display every December for at least 30 years!

Now we have a few more nativity scenes

we also display in December.

This is Mary . . .
one of the felt puppets Betsy and Hayley helped me
make one year when our family had decided they
were too grown up to act out the Nativity play anymore.

This is Joseph . . .
from one of our cute little nativity sets.

This is the stable . . .
from a wooden nativity set we own.

These are the animals . . .
from our fanciest nativity set.
 

These are the shepherds . . .
from our "Country Bumpkins" nativity set.

This is the angel . . .
from our Fisher Price nativity set.
My (and many of your) favorite part is when you
push down on the angel, and the star lights up and
plays "Away in a Manger"

This is the brand new star . . .
also from our fancy nativity set.

These are the wise men . . .
from a nativity set full of cute, chubby people!

I will tell you all about my newest nativity set
 during the days before Christmas. In the meantime
you can listen (and maybe even learn)
"The Nativity Song" here!

Merry Christmas Countdown!
Love, Grandma
