I DO leave the big nativity out, the fancy one until Epiphany, but it's so hard to leave everything out, growing up my mom always took everything down on New Years. I like to do that, it is a great way to start the new year, clean and fresh. This year I'm waiting until Epiphany!<BR/><BR/>Like I said in one of the past comments, it bogs me down and feels like a ton of clutter!Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678469484585027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-71102864983503840142008-12-28T00:02:00.000-06:002008-12-28T00:02:00.000-06:00Jamie, your home is so festive.

I, too, have several nativities. I have a sort of collection of them and leave many out all year long. Love yours.<BR/>Happy Christmas season to you.

I only have two - but, I think my Fontanini set has enough figures to count as more than one.<BR/><BR/>My next question is . . . how long do you leave everything up (how long past Epiphany, I mean!).Suzie L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14187842891099447088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-10845558280161898312008-12-26T10:49:00.000-06:002008-12-26T10:49:00.000-06:00OK...I am back.

I hate things on top of my fridge...but no where else to put the extra stuff!! It does look a little more peaceful in pictures, like it took me 4 shots to get the kids to not stand in front of the tree..."Mama just wants to take a picture of the tree!!"<BR/><BR/>LOL, gotta love it though, it's all fun for the kiddos!!Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678469484585027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-31455897588248305082008-12-23T17:40:00.000-06:002008-12-23T17:40:00.000-06:00Bravo!

I love the calendar of Joseph and Mary getting closer to the cave. What a great idea, and helpful for the kids to sort of contemplate that throughout Lent. Wishing you and yours and great holiday!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815691376686603623noreply@blogger.com
