Take Two....
I Hope you will be glad to know, Dear Readers, that Pollyanna remembered to set up the Nativity in the Lovely Old Dollhouse before the last possible minute! Every year the same figures are arranged on the sideboard in the Living Room, but there is often a problem with remembering just where each figure belongs. Pollyanna has placed the Shepherd with his sheep to one side of the Holy Family, and the Three Kings with their camel on the other side. But she is not at all sure she likes this arrangement! "I think it looks too empty over here..." she says to Arthur, pointing to the Shepherd and his sheep.
"Well, I do think the camel belongs with the Kings" said Arthur diplomatically.
"But I think they are too crowded over there," replied Pollyanna.
"You can hardly see them!" she added.
"Maybe I should just move the Kings to this end
and let the Shepherd be on the other side" she said.
"At least we can give it a try and see how it looks..."
"There, like that !" she said as she rearranged all the figures.
"Don't you think that looks better?" she asked.
"Or does it look wrong with the Kings in the front....?"
"I think it looks just fine, Honey," said Charles.
"As long as the camel is with the Kings,
I think it looks right" he added.
"I think it looks perfect!" declared Arthur agreeably,
clearly not wanting to disturb the Peace!
"Then we'll keep it this way!" said Pollyanna, giving him a big smile.
"Now we're ready for Christmas!" declared Helen optimistically.
"Unless you still have shopping to do?" she added.
Well, Dear Readers, I hope you agree,
that no matter how many takes are needed,
The Nativity will always be Perfect in the end!
And I hope, whatever you Celebrate,
that you All have a Wonderful Holiday!
