When my kids were young, we used it as part of our evening devotions. The buildings and animals were set up in the center of the dining room table. The baby in the manger was put away and wouldn't come out until Christmas morning. The wise men and Mary and Joseph and the shepherd were in different places in the house, and each night after devotions, the kids would move the figures a little closer to Bethlehem, until finally, on Christmas, they arrived. It was a fun way to celebrate Advent. Now, I use a more adult nativity, and I set the whole thing up at once (no one journeys to Bethlehem), but my daughter has the Precious Moments one, and she looks forward to using it with her own kids the same way we did.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948766889057998160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-42203794425548820302019-12-03T10:41:13.371-05:002019-12-03T10:41:13.371-05:00Beautiful!

The quads and I were sitting at the tea table on Sunday when Trystan looked in the foyer and saw them. She said, "There's the Jesus houses!!" I always put them on the bottom shelf in the foyer where the kids can reach them and arrange and rearrange the pieces as they retell the Christmas story!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623820316056914224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-46218749807405600482019-12-03T09:25:24.684-05:002019-12-03T09:25:24.684-05:00That was a lovely gift . . . and I love Tim's ...That was a lovely gift . . . and I love Tim's creche too! Love your musings about the "simple and humble" aspects of this nativity as representative of how Jesus truly came. Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.com
