Oh, Yes.....

 

 The Nativity....

It is That Time of year, Dear Readers, when we are all so busy running around with last minute everything, that we almost forget to set up the Nativity! But Pollyanna remembered at last and has just set out all the Traditional figurines in the usual spot, the sideboard in The Lovely Old Dollhouse living room. She thinks she has got it right this time and is admiring the arrangement.

Arthur has come to see how the arrangement is progressing.

"What do you think?" asks Pollyanna.

"It looks great, Hon" says Arthur, 

"but I don't see the camel!" he added.

(The camel is always a subject of confusion!)

 

 

"I put him over there," said Pollyanna, "behind the Kings."

"Ah!" said Arthur. "Good choice!"

 

"As long as he's with the Kings, I'm happy!" exclaimed Charles.

"The Kings don't actually arrive until later anyway," said Helen...

 "I don't know why they should be included so soon..."

 she added thoughtfully.

"Well, I can't think where else we could put them," said Pollyanna.... 

"and then we might forget to add them later..." she added.

"I think it looks just right" Dear, said Charles.

 "And this way nobody has to remember about later!" he declared.

"Then it's settled!" said Pollyanna.

"Heaven knows, we can't have Christmas

 without the Creche!" she added.

And in case you were wondering, Dear Readers,

 Gabrielle and Will have set up the small Nativity

 over at The Folly too!

They are happily sharing a snack by the Fire

 on this cold First day of Winter!

And because it is impossible to get close enough

 to photograph from inside the room.... 

(my messy workroom!)

We can only get a glimpse of it from outside the window!

But now you will know it is there!

 

And I hope, Dear Readers, that you are all enjoying

 your last minute preparations, whatever they are,

And that you don't forget The Nativity.

Because Heaven knows,

 It would not be Christmas without The Nativity!
