Day 13 of Christmas Creche Countdown
It’s Sunday. Day 13 of my Creche Countdown. Let’s take a peek at Baby Jesus through the eyes of a child. I’ve enjoyed having nativities over the years that my kids and now my grandkids can enjoy playing with to retell the Christmas story in their own kid-friendly terminology! Today I’ll share some of these...
Christmas Creche Countdown – Day 12
Only 13 days until Christmas! Can you believe it? As I finish things on my “to do” list, and cross out the days on my calendar, the reality sinks in a bit more every day. I love Christmas, though. I love the warm fuzzy memories that fill my heart as I think of Christmases past. I also love the anticipation of THIS Christmas!...
Christmas Creche Countdown Day 11
Good Morning, Friends. It’s December 11th – and Day 11 of my Creche Countdown! Today I’m featuring one of my recent finds at an antique/flea market in nearby Wichita. I’ve had it a couple weeks – one of the ‘seasonal displays’ people put out in their booths before a new season, you know! Sometimes THIS...
Creche Countdown – Day 10
This 2020 holiday season is ‘different.’ Much has changed and continues to change. There is no ‘normal’ anymore. But, different doesn’t have to be bad. How we respond matters. To the best of my ability, I choose to celebrate what’s ‘different‘ in 2020. I hope you can, too. Remember, there is no...
Christmas Creche Countdown Day 9
Well, I’m still sharing my nativities, and I still have more to share! So far, I’ve shared 14 in 8 days. Gonna have to pick up the pace to make it through my collection before I run out of December days! Today, I’ll start with the promised one…my Crude Creche (a.k.a., Joyous Nativity) but let me give you some back...
Christmas Creche Countdown Day 8
Greetings, Friends. I’ve been eager to share this clever creche with you since the beginning of my countdown. It’s basic. It’s simple. It’s monochromatic (though distressed to add depth), and it’s all one piece. This wooden creche is probably machine-made in some sweatshop or warehouse, somewhere! I love the...
Christmas Creche Countdown Day 7
Have you seen this meme floating around on social media? That’s where I found it (and no, I don’t have a peanut creche!). I’m sharing it for my pastor friends – you know who you are – who can easily relate, I’m sure! One can NEVER own too many books. Am I right? My mother would have agreed. She collected...
Creche Countdown – Day 4
It’s December 4, 2020. I’m curious…is your Christmas decor glitzy or farmhouse or chic or traditional? Have you ever considered how to describe your style? I guess I’m eclectic. I’ve done all of the above at one time or another, and you’ll see it in my nativities as well as in my tree (when I have one). I...
Welcome, I’m Elaine. I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, a choreographer of words, a challenger of the status quo, an admirer of all things colorful, and a lover of life who finds great comfort and joy in knowing I’m completely adequate to do whatever it is God calls me to do!
