To: My Favorite Headache
Early in our marriage, I bought our first & only Nativity scene..... at Sears....(not a lot of money to spend)

It's not fancy, smancy....just basic thatch roof lean-to with Josepeh, Mary, baby Jesus, the Wise men, a shepherd, two cows, sheep.-that's it.

..we still use it, although it's seen better days, but the kids love it, sentimentally.

No matter how I arrange the scene, they always, always rearrange a cow, or the shepherd, or something, LOL.
It's tradition in our home....rearrange the Nativity scene.

Sad how Sear's has declined.....they use to be known for old fashioned values.

What a sweet tradition, and a beautiful story.
Sears used to epitomize quality.

Our mom designed Nativity scenes for each of our families...out of spools of thread. She put so much love into them.

Sears doesn't realize they're stripping the genuine love right out of Christmas. They might as well call it Christless.
