Here’s something that we are doing as a family this year to prepare for Christmas.We set out our stable and nativity set and each member of our family chose one figurine. The girls were able to choose two.
PE Photo Bomb!
We then place our selected piece(s) in our bedrooms and each day move them closer to the stable to represent the journey made for the birth of Christ.
The journey to be made to arrive at the stable
By Christmas Day, each figurine will arrive at the stable, with the exception, of course, of the Three Wise Men. They’ll arrive on the Epiphany, January 6.
This is a tradition my family did when I was a child and I look forward to sharing it with our little ones.
I’m sharing this idea over here:
Come on over and take a look at all the holiday creativity being shared!
I absolutely LOVE this idea!! When our little one is old enough, we will definitely be incorporating this idea into our Christmas tradition
Gladly pinned ya over at the Pinning Party 
Have a blessed Christmas season!
I am so glad you liked this idea. It does help to have a nativity set that’s not too fragile for little hands
What a fun idea! My little ones makes everyone take Santa’s train to the stable LOL Of course, they are 3 and 1, so we just have a few laughs about it and keep telling the story. Though, I’m sure Mary and Joseph would have had easier travels on a train
Love this tradition of yours and hope to try this with them when they are older.
I love this idea! I wish I’d done it with my girls! I am pinning it to the Deck the Halls Holiday Organizing and Decorating Board!
You’re a fun mom! Sanity and glamour are overrated.
Home Making is THE best job ever!
HUGS and blessings to you as you make yours!
