The Nativity - the center of our Christmas celebrations
The build up to celebrating Christs birth has begun! With all the family around on the weekend it was the perfect opportunity to get the children involved in telling the Christmas story. Each child was given two small felt bags, each containing a character from the nativity. As we read the story aloud, they listened for their character and placed it into the nativity play. It was so lovely to see them helping the little figures plod along the path from Nazareth to Bethlehem, be turned away from the Inn and settle into the stable. The girls were especially excited as they had built the stable with Dadda the week before on his day off from work. Jesus is such a special part of our lives and I love that this year the nativity is in the centre of our loungeroom, and is the centre of our play. Perhaps we should leave it up all year! I hope your Christmas celebrations have begun with such enthusiasm too!
