Nativity Naivety
December 18th, 2008
Shoeshe has been doing a series of bizarre Nativity scenes over at her blog, and I wanted to throw some that I like, not this, into the mix.
For the last few years I have been collecting Fontanini nativity pieces. I know it looks a little funny now, but in a few years this will be gorgeous. I have my fingers crossed that Santa is going to put a shepherd in my stocking this year. In case you were wondering where baby Jesus is, he does not appear until Christmas morning.
The Fontanini is very appealing to The Son, he kept pushing a chair over to the china cabinet and climbing up so he could play with “Baby Jesus Mama and Daddy!” To curtail this, I found this Fisher Price Little People set at Wal-Mart, if you push the angel it plays “Away in a Manger”. It my be inaccurate and cheesy, but he loves it, it has gotten him to talk about Jesus, and he has been leaving my Fontanini alone. Win-Win-Win.
Speaking of inaccurate Nativities, here is our church’s children’s Christmas Program. The Son started to cry when he realized I was not in the entryway of the church with him right before he was to walk in. He came straight to me, and sat in my lap refusing to sit with the other wise men. At the very end he grabbed the microphone to sing the last song, “Joy to the World.” In other words, here are some cute children, but the only part that has The Son in it is that flash of red cape and silver crown in the beginning, the edge of him holding the microphone at the almost end, and me carrying him out at the very end. We will try again next year. Also watch for the antics the microphone caused. Can you tell we did not rehearse with it?

Bummer and a half…that Fisher Price Nativity was going to be featured on ShoeShe on Saturday. Oh well, I have lots of other toy sets to showcase. Tomorrow’s Nativities come to us from foreign lands…be sure to check that out!!!
Oh, and The Son did a really good job considering his age. When I was three and the children’s choir was singing “This Is the Day,” I hid under the choir director’s robe. I think she was more embarrassed than I was shy. And who could have ever guessed that I would have been shy? Not to disappoint you, but I really rarely was…it just happened a few times in children’s choir…I don’t think I liked the ladies in charge.
Very cute… I am not sure what some of the kids were in the church program but it was still cute. I Really like the angel with the baby. TheSon looks like such a big boy in his crown and cape.
Really glad you shared, makes me miss some things though.
Oh and you guys really need a wireless mic!
Our church has an “Impromptu Christmas pageant” on Christmas eve. It should be interesting.
We have a wireless Mic, it’s just attached to the Pastor.
(sarcastic content follows…HeyYou says I have to tell people it’s sarcasm because I’m bad at it)
We thought about using the wireless mic and decided after much deliberation that it would be easier to use the corded mic than to try and move the Pastor into place every time someone had a speaking part.
(end of sarcasm)
How perfectly snarky Mr. Huckablog!!!
*rolls eyes*
you need a handheld wireless mic
LOL @ The Husband’s comment. Also, love the little Office reference thrown into this post. Cute kids!!
TheHusband did not need a sarcasm alert on that one. Isn’t he funny? You should hear the one about the garage and the rug!
