I asked Rowan to move the Holy Family from one shelf to another. I love that he didn't set it up as it was, but circled the magi around the baby. This is what I want our twelve days of Christmas to be; a time of being gathered in awe around the king who was coming and is coming.
My 7-year old son has enjoyed arranging a certain Nativity in our house for several years. He always does it the same way, with all the people facing in to the stable and their "backs to the audience." I wondered if this year he'd do it more like a display, but no, he chose the same arrangement--all people facing in to the Christ child. I kind of hope he holds onto this for awhile yet.
