Nativity



I am a Christmas decoration junkie. It takes me a week to decorate and I take down any normal decorations and replace them with Christmas ones. After I am done with all the garland, Santas, and lights, I set up my nativity. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!
I found it at Costco and debated whether to get it or not. It was a little expensive but I just had to have it. When my friend Laura saw mine she wanted one too and went to Costco to get it and.... they were gone....everywhere....gone. She finally had one shipped from California so we now both own and love them together. I have seen many nativities and there are wonderful ones out there, but this is my absolute favorite. It has little pottery pots, the most beautiful camels, palm trees, a sheep, really good looking wise men, shepherds and of course the holy family. I have never liked nativities where the newborn baby has his arms raised to heaven (not realistic) or so big that he looks like he's half grown. This one does have outstretched arms but I love everything else. This one is beautiful and Costco has never sold it since. There are times when, if you really want something, you just need to get it or it will be gone. I am so glad I did this time. Now, how to choose who to leave it to when I am a goner. Lottery? Or to the one who takes care of me when I am in depends and slobbering down the front of my shirt. Oh, I do that now. Not wear depends but I do spill down the front of me on a regular basis. Sigh! OK, to the one who has the patience to take me shopping when I can hardly move. Yep!! ENLARGE TO APPRECIATE.

I tap tap it all! I will wipe your buns and your drool - you don't need to worry about who is going to take care of you because I am quite sure we would all line up! I need to go through your house this season and write my name on all the decorations that I want! Lucky Shon and Kee get some really good ones because of the Ostler name you hand painted on a lot of them!
