Christmas-time at our House: part 6

We have a few Nativity Scenes around our house: one was made in Indonesia (Papua I think) from a coconut shell -my sweetie brought it back from a trip overseas a few years ago; one we bought in Skagway Alaska this summer that has the holy family in an igloo; one is a music box that my mom gave me years ago; another is an ornament that my grandma gave us for our first Christmas married - it is a musical ornament and it has a lovely sound.

We also have lots of other nativity ornaments on our tree.  It's covered with them!

Then, we have THE Nativity. 

The 'official' Nativity Scene in our house

Pretty exciting, eh?

Well, that is what our Nativity looks like right now.  After all, isn't that how the Christmas story starts?  In a stable with animals and hay and such? 

We do a Progressive Nativity at our house.  That means that we start with just the cow and the stable and we add pieces to it as the season goes along.  The way we add the pieces helps us to tell the story of Christ's birth.
