I really thought we were close to retiring the Little People nativity set, but we had great fun with it this year. After hearing our pastor speak at MOPS about keeping the nativity set at their house Biblically correct, I changed it up this year. I put out the stable, animals, angel, Mary, and Joseph. Of course they wanted to know where Jesus and the Wise Men were. I explained Jesus didn't arrive until Christmas day and the Wise Men were following the star that appeared at his birth. They proceeded to inform me that what I had set up wasn't quite right. The angel appeared to Mary and to Joseph before it appeared on Jesus' birthday. How right they were! The following is the story of Jesus' birth told via sweet children, Fisher Price, iPhone, and Instagram.
The angel appeared to Mary and told her she would have a son. His name was Jesus. The angel came to Joseph in a dream and told him to not be afraid.
Mary and Joseph had to go to Bethlehem
There was no room in the inn, so Jesus would be born in a stable
The Wise Men saw a star in the east and followed it to Jesus
Tomorrow morning, the kids will open a present. It is baby Jesus to be placed in the manger. God sent his only son to save us. The perfect gift.
