DAY TWENTY: Nativity Scenes

Given my complicated religious opinions, I should probably be against nativity scenes at Christmas just on principle. But setting the stable stage and its biblical players was always a special treat as a kid. I took particular joy in placing the wee Christ child in his manger only after all of the other figurines were in place - in the same spirit that dictates the star may only be placed on the tree after every ornament has been hung.

I'm likely not going to want a nativity scene anytime soon... but if I did, I think I would buy one of these:

The Sock Creature Christmas Pageant (Etsy)
Nested Nativity (Etsy)
Modern Nativity (Oliver Fabel)
