Paul put up the nativity on Sunday. I noticed that he had put the baby Jesus out. He always said that the baby Jesus could not go out until Christmas. So I hid the baby on the next shelf down. When I told Paul what I had done, he wanted to know about the Wise Men, because they had to make the journey and were not at the manger yet. He moved them down as well. When he was little, he would move the Wise Men on their journey, closer and closer to the manger.
Fast forward to this morning. I wanted to take a picture of the nativity set to put in my "25 Days of December" book. Paul's sister gave us the set 20 years ago when we got married. As I took the pictures, I noticed that Mary was hanging out with a Wise Man.....not Joseph. I would not have expected that of her. I put Joseph back where he belongs, the Wise Man got demoted back to the shelf below......and all is well in the nativity. Whew....glad I put a stop to that business!
