As a child, you may have prepared milk and cookies and leave it out for the big bellied man you are expecting to fall from the Chimney to deliver your gifts. You may have written letters and sent your wish list, hang your socks by the tree and looked out your window hoping to spot his reindeers or hear his cheerful laugh until you fall asleep waiting. You may have even sat up on his lap and listened to his stories. For ever child, Santa is real. Although things may have changed including your faith in Santa as you grow older, the least thing you want to do is to burst every child’s bubble, spoil their Christmas by questioning Santa.
Everyone is familiar with the nativity scene. It relates the story of the baby Christ’s humble birth in the stables. It is an inspirational narration of the events that brought about the celebration. A Christmas nativity display is always present. Other decorations serve the joyous celebration, the fun and whimsical side of the occasion. The nativity display on the other hand, brings out the more meaningful reason of the Christmas season. Some people collect angel figurines or Santa figurine and other Christmas ornaments but others have their own nativity figurines to display.
