Yes, God always does work in the midst of real life, messy people. I also love how after the resurrection Jesus cooked breakfast on the beach for his friends. It has been an exceptionally low-key Christmas around here this year. I've so enjoyed all your Advent posts, much to think about. (And I'm glad to see you read Wendell Berry, he's one of my favorites). Now I'm off to cook! A very blessed Christmas to you and yours!

We have a small wooden nativity scene I bought when Bella was a baby and each year I chuckle when I find playmobil policemen, toys lions, tigers, small cars and all manner of other items hidden in there - things that certainly didn't feature in the original nativity! The figure do invite interaction, as you say...<br /><br />May I wish you and your family a very happy Christmas. It's been a real pleasure sharing this blogging journey with you.<br /><br />Gillian xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270442039937122804.post-30450596463791556072012-12-24T11:04:38.055+00:002012-12-24T11:04:38.055+00:00Dear E

They are indeed beautiful and I love the fact that they include people from all walks of life and background, highlighting that God comes to share ordinary life, then and now. Thank you for this post and your beautiful words and photos and for your blog altogether. I enjoy reading it so very much.<br />Sending lots of blessings for Christmas and beyond.

Had no idea about the tradition or the figurines or what the story was behind each one. Yours are so pretty, and the way they move around past your books is so sweet. I love that you have had your santons for many years.<br /><br />Have a wonderful Christmas.!Nancy McCarrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12867768046703596688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270442039937122804.post-80798056889259623862012-12-23T14:45:42.981+00:002012-12-23T14:45:42.981+00:00What a delight!

We've always had a nativity scene of some kind but always kept it to the family, the shepherds, and the wise men. I love the idea of expanding it. Thank you for sharing this. And again, have a blessed Christmas.
