Oh, Holy Night

 I counted ten nativity scenes in my living room this year. I had a few more at one time, and just noticed a new one that I hadn't photographed before (and didn't this year). These are still all pictures from previous Christmases. 

The one above is one of my oldest, I think my mom gave it to me when I got married the first time. The one below was so close to it that I gave it away a few years ago. 

Here come the kings. I'm always tempted not to put them out because they didn't visit Jesus at his birth, but several months or even years later. 

These guys are from Mexico, not sure who they came from, but I think they are freakishly cute. 

Are rubber duckies irreverent? I don't think so. I love them.

And one year, I took a picture of the chaos as I was setting up the table full of them. 

Now you can play "how many things are different in these four pictures?" As much as I think I'm setting them up the same, apparently, each year is different. 

The two that are new in the picture above and below are from far away. The colorful one is a retablo I bought in Peru in 2009 and my kids brought the wooden carving back for me from Kenya.
