You placing your nativity sets brought back sweet memories. I remember from my childhood helping mama put out the nativity and she would tell the story. She passed away 30 years ago on the 6th. I still miss her greatly and she was a wonderful mother. I have carried on that tradition. It’s very important to my family. I loved both of your displays but I think the one on the coffee table is my favorite. I so appreciated Ronnie’s words. I pray that everyone could remember why we celebrate Christmas and live in harmony. Thank you! 🙏♥️🎄

Awww, I love it! How precious and what a memory to have for a lifetime. I know what it is to miss a momma. I miss mine so so much. Yesterday was a hard day, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer December 4th 11 years ago. So hard to not have her here to share with. I am with you the one on the coffee table is my favorite too. It’s so so pretty and detailed. I’m so glad you enjoyed Ronnie’s little message. I’m so glad he agreed to do it for me. He’s amazing. Amen! Thank you for being here to watch and to share. Have a wonderful day.

I was so happy he agreed to help me in this video. I know so many of you enjoy his words as well, so I thought it the perfect fit. We are richly blessed by one another and everyday I thank the Lord for the gift I have been given in Ronnie and being his wife. He is the best. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas as well.

Just lovely. You bring your touch to things and just magnify their beauty. I saw the nativity at Costco and thought who could I give that to. I have several nativities including one from Costco from many years ago. I like yours better with the muted, softer colors. What a treat to hear Ronnie speak about Advent. The two of you are such a loving example of marriage. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Awww, thank you so so much. I really do appreciate such a sweet compliment. I guess I have missed the nativity in years past because I have had so many of you mention that you’ve had one for years. How neat would it be to have one each time the change the colors. They are so gorgeous. Thank you for your sweet words about Ronnie and I. I love him so and I’m so thankful to have had him speak on here. He does such a tremendous job. Thank you so much for being here to share it all with.

Deena, the Costco Nativity was a tremendous deal, wish I had known about it, our stores are sold out of it which does not surprise me as it is beautiful and a good size. Maybe next year it will be out again to purchase. I'm a person that feels like there is no limit to how many Nativity sets a person can have, especially when you have sets all of different sizes and pieces. The cloche idea for small Nativity is also a great idea!! The Nativity on the coffee table, talk about gorgeous and the enormous size of it makes a dramatic statement focal point. It is beautiful and embellished beyond words!!! I absolutely LOVE it! I have never thought of using bottle brushes with my Nativity sets before but I'm gonna use them this year. Also I have an ornate silver 14x14 mirror that is large enough to hold Mary, Joseph and Jesus and I'm going to use that also. This was one of my video requests to you when you asked us for video content we would like to see. Thank you for the Nativity decor, I have been inspired to use some of your techniques for my own Nativity sets this year!!! Good to hear Ronnie speak about Advent and the Nativity! God Bless both of you and your family 😊

Vicki, I am so glad I was able to fill one of your request. I’ve tried to do so all through the months, some I have managed to hit and a few I still need to work on. I really am so glad you enjoyed this one and were able to gain some inspiration from it. I am almost positive Costco will have the nativity out again next year. I think it is something they have each year. I think someone mentioned they had purchased one 20 years ago. It is so pretty and I hope you find one. I love the idea of having several nativities. I have a few more left to put out. Last year I filled my little curio cabinet with them. Thank you so so much for your sweet comment. I do appreciate all you said. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week.

Thank you Deena for a wonderful demonstration of your nativity scenes. They are really beautiful. I wonder if the figures were made in Italy? I bought a beautiful set a few years ago in a thrift store in January. The figures were a good size but very expensive and hadn’t sold. They were reduced to half price so I couldn’t resist buying them even though I already had a nice set. I love them and I have them on my hall table every year in a wooden stable that we already had. Christmas can be very stressful and expensive for many people but it doesn’t have to be that way. Keep it simple and focus on the true meaning.

You are always most welcome. Thank you for being here to share it all with. Oh, I don’t know if they would be from Italy or not.

Thanks so much for watching. I hope you have a wonderful evening.
