Favorite Christmas tradition
We have a new Christmas tradition involving this Nativity scene. It's kind of like an advent calendar, but every morning when the kids wake up, a new piece of the scene is on the coffee table, waiting for them. I start with just the manger on December 1, then add a palm tree on the second, the cart on the third, etc., leading up to Joseph on the 23rd, Mary on the 24th, and then baby Jesus on Christmas morning. Since there are only 17 pieces in this set, you'll need to order one or two of the extra small sets (like the shepherds or wise men) to have 25 pieces, or you could add books or other fun Christmas items on your own, OR you could just start on the 8th instead of the 1st. It's a lot of fun to watch the kids wake up and run to the coffee table to find what has appeared overnight.
