   This is a beautiful series of posts. I love our Little People nativity just  because the kids can chew on it, etc. I’m always finding the angel driving a tractor or Jesus on a school bus.

   I love our nativity from G&G B as well. It was the last Christmas Grandpa was alive and it’s such a fitting conclusion to his life’s message to his grandchildren.

   We also have a plain white set on our piano. Everyone has to be adjusted just so they’re covering each other’s broken spots–we’ve moved too many times!!

   It is nice that you remember where the beautiful nativities came from.  Gramma will be so happy to know you appreciate the china one from her.  She wanted it to be a perpetual Christmas gift.

   My kids are constantly putting baby Jesus up on top of the stable where the angel is supposed to be.  It drives me batty!  Put a cow up there, or a shepherd or whatever – but not baby Jesus!

   Mom, I do enjoy them all; it works well each year!

   Nancy, Paul didn’t notice the difference between the cow and baby Jesus this year, but he sure had fun! Maybe next year it will both me. I thought about that though: here’s a “toy” of the Savior. I’m not so keen on that as a principle.

   Interestingly, lullabies started to remind people of the nativity scene. Most of the words hailed back to Mary, as the mother. So I guess it’s how toys were originally intended: to bring people into “righteousness”…
