This was our house this Christmas.When I started adding a penguin a year, I really thought we'd only get a year or two out of each penguin and we'd end up with about three at a time.
I have to admit, I love our nativity!We rescued it when a church was throwing it away because it was damaged.
We learned to repair plaster and paint them!
Theirs is quite lovely, but about half the size of ours, except the camel.
Our judgy camel is about 4 times the size of theirs, but 100% judgier...
We moved the creche from the traditional side platform to the center this year,and people loved it!
Also this year, Leena had the idea of doing window arrangements. They were a ton of work, but they really were beautiful, especially at the Christmas evening Masses when the candles were on.
And we accidentally got wreaths that were too large (the bows looked tiny), so we ended up using our extra berries and pine cones to decorate the wreaths.
Again, extra work, but the results were excellent: everything looked very coordinated!
