Children seemed to enjoy watching the Magi make it to the manger by Christmas Eve. Biblically, the Magi should have arrived at the manger in January but we were in a hurry...<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen these baby Jesus wars in my congregations but at home the kittens move the creche figures around to fit their playful sense of the Christmas story.

It became a game to see how many different figurines we could find around the house to put in the manger scene, and the tableau kept changing every couple of days.<BR/><BR/>Sigh...I miss those days!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18324456402703897094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11496473.post-1133902675424470792005-12-06T14:57:00.000-06:002005-12-06T14:57:00.000-06:00Wonderful post.

You can't put them together because they happen in different gospels. You have to decide, based mostly on what lectionary year it is, whether you will have a Luke nativity or a Matthew nativity.
