Growing up we always had a nativity displayed somewhere in our house or on our front lawn to remind us of the Christ's birth and the reason for Christmas. Originally we would set up our three feet wooden Mary and Joseph along side the shepherds and Wisemen. A small stable was used as the shelter for the manger where baby Jesus lay. This scene adorned our front yard for many years until it became very weathered from the elements. In the past we have also set up a glass figurine Mary and Joseph and the other key figures in the nativity on our mantle. Instead of a small stable to create small home we covered the entire mantle with real straw and strategically place the figures facing towards the manger with baby Jesus. For the past few years we have been setting up our Playmobile nativity set.
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." (Luke 2:13-14)
