If you have ultra-conservative views on the sanctity of Christmas or very stringent theology, you don't want to read this post. That's my one and only warning.
Today's decorations...the first of my nativity sets. :)
It's not actually the first nativity set I've ever owned, but it's the first one I've put out this year and it's VERY special to me. :) (In case you've not been to my house or read Christmas posts from years gone by, I have quite a few nativity sets. They're one of my 2 favorite decorations.)
Someone very special gave this one to me a few years ago, even though he thinks such things are a bit sacrilegious. My parents have a Native American nativity set that my brother gave them several years ago and it has a teepee for the stable. That bothered this person, and I horrified them even more by laughing and saying, "If I ever find one in bears, I'll be very tempted to buy it." So imagine my surprise MANY years later when I received this. I've never seen another like it, and I think he spent quite a bit of time scouring the internet in search of it. Regardless, this set is my second favorite nativity set (but my favorite small set).
Tell me, what could be more precious than a bear nativity set?
