just as grandma's cookie jar should always be full of good things, this blog will be full of good ideas, information, activities and reviews of things to help grandma . . . and grandpa, mom and dad too . . . pass on a heritage of faith to the children in their lives!
It's Time to Think about Christmas - a Nativity Set for Your Grandchildren!
The first year my husband and I were married (forty one years ago), he got me the Precious Moments Nativity Set for Christmas. I love setting up my Nativity Set each year - we have a bay window in our living room, which is where we put our tree; in previous years we set the Nativity Set in the window as well with the kings traveling across the living room to the Nativity, because I want the focus to be on the Reason for the Season - but we have a kitten this year and she is likely to be VERY curious about the set, so I put it on a shelf in our dining room this year.
So at any rate, when I saw ideas for making your own Nativity set on Pinterest, I thought it would be fun to share with you so you are able to help the children you love make their own set over the weeks leading up to Christmas! Each week they will add to their set by making additional pieces to take home.
Save empty medicine bottles and/or paper towel tubes, gather some scraps of cloth, make circles for faces and you are ready to begin creating! Celebrate Christmas all month long with your grandchildren and keep their focus on what really matters . . . Jesus!
