I'm not doing much decorating this Christmas--just a yule log in the fireplace (2 over-sized battery-run candles), a wreath on the door, and the Nativity scene, which I got out a couple of days ago to follow Advent.
The tradition is to have Mary, Joseph, and the animals in the manger awaiting Jesus, who won't be there until December 25, followed by the Wise Men, arriving from the East on January 6.
Last January 7th, I wrapped each figure of the Nativity scene in a separate piece of paper--the same paper I've wrapped them in for years--and put them in the red square box labeled JOY.
So this year I unwrapped each figure...but no Joseph. To Be continued
