Joan, I like your idea of collecting nativities. It's much simpler and more meaningful than trees with all the decorations.

In a couple weeks, we'll be placing a nativity scene on our front lawn. Ross places it under a tree that is loaded with white lights. Then we place a spotlight on the manger. I love the statement it makes this time of year. No Santas on this lawn, not that we don't love Santa and commercialize Christmas, because we certainly do, but I like the idea of focusing on the true meaning of Christmas when we can.

It's fun having you aboard. I hope you'll stick around.
