The Nativity.....

A Last Minute Thing....


I Hope you will not mind, Dear Readers, that the Nativity was not set up in the Lovely Old Dollhouse until nearly the Last minute. Pollyanna has been very preoccupied with her mini projects and was almost forgetting what day it was. Charles reminded her that it was Time to get the figures set up... tomorrow being Christmas Eve. But really, if we think about it.... this is as it should be! The Holy Family were traveling and when night began to fall, they stopped and searched for a place to sleep.  But the Town was crowded and there were no beds to be found at the Inn, so they had to sleep in the Stables with the Beasts. They could not know or predict when the Holy Child would arrive... and Suddenly it was Time...!

Pollyanna enjoys the ritual of setting up the figures... 

so well known... each with it's story and place...

Although by now you probably remember

 that it is difficult to recall on which side the Camel belongs...!

This year it is resting on the Left...

Perhaps you can see it way back there behind the Kings?

The Shepherds were the First to arrive after all...

And even over at The Folly, Will has set up the little Creche in the Window....

Although it is harder to see now that there are such Sumptuous Drapes....

Perhaps we will be able to see better in the Morn

When Christmas Day has come!

And though it is not related to the Nativity, Dear Readers,

 I wanted to show you another gift I received from Birgit... 

although she might have forgotten it by now!

Blue the Blue Fairy Bearey has set up the Silver Tinsel Tree

 in its usual place in the Cloud Palace Parlor...

And she has called all the rest of the Fairy Bearey Gang to come see the Tree.

"I have a surprise for you ..." said Blue The Blue Fairy Bearey.

"I don't see anything different..." said Brother Beorn....

 "It looks like the Same old tree to me!"

"Well, just wait a moment said Blue...."

And she waved her magic wand...

"Ta Da!" she said!

"We have lights!"

Everybearey gasped in surprise....!

"Oooh...." said Sweet pea.... "That is Brilliant!"

So the Bearey Gang all enjoyed cake and tea

 in the light of the Brilliant Silver Tinsel Tree....

 lit with a string of lights sent to me Last Year by Birgit!!!

(And yes, I remembered at the Last Minute and went to find them...!)

And lest you think I have been doing Nothing but the Christmas Card....

Here is blossom number Thirty-eight...!

And with it's buddies in the box....

My my.... we are running out of room...

Soon there will be No room to put them in....!

 

Well, Dear Readers, I hope you all

 have a Wonderful Christmas Holiday...

With plenty of room and plenty of Love...

Even if it is a Last Minute Thing!

(And yes... I am still working on the Christmas Card!)
