I always have a hard time finding a way to display the nativity…and tend to go a little overboard with lights and garland. Not so much in the mood for too much extra this year, so I got myself a little pinsperation and got it done…in the frame is a wonderful chalkboard printable I found over at Yellow Bliss Road. And we are done. Now, the empty space will be filled with the endless flow of crafts the kids will inevitably bring home (love them, hate them, love them…why are there so many?). So, no need for me to spend time trying to draw/paint/craft something that most likely won’t turn out right…so there you go! Spend more time playing and less decorating!

The Bible is my grandmothers’ family Bible, and we will simply change the page every few days as we read through the story of Christ’s birth. The cross is a bookmark I found in the Bible. Big heart inserted here.
