Christmas 2008

It's no secret that I don't like Christmas. I like Jesus' birthday but not shopping, Santa, etc. due to my many, many unfortunate years in retail sales; but this Christmas was really very nice. It may have been my best Christmas yet! Samantha was old enough this year and Jessica was not too old to enjoy Santa and all the new toys, and there were lots of new toys. It took me days to clean out the playroom to make space for all I expected Santa to bring. Their favorite new toy is the Wii that Aunt Sue and Uncle Scott gave them.
We had two Nativity scenes displayed for Christmas. I set them up the traditional way and Jessica decided it just wasn't quite right. I'll let the pictures of what she did speak for themselves...

...isn't it beautiful! I would have never thought to put Jesus in the center with everyone in a circle looking just at him,
but isn't that the way it should be? 

"And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say to you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew Chapter 18 verses 2-4.
