I collect Nativities from around the world. I love that different cultures have different representations of Christ's birth that they relate to. Even if it's not an accurate representation, their love of Jesus and the adoration of His divinity is what counts. My family and friends know this, and whenever they travel, they often get a Nativity for me. I have ones from all over the world – Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Israel, Philippines, Turkey, Ukraine, and so on. I also have craft ones made by family and friends – one is made of painted rocks, another is made of felt, another is made with buttons. Wood, glass, ceramics, terra cotta, clay, felt, cotton balls..these are just some of the materials. Some are rustic, some are elegant, some are cute. All are loved by me so much that they are on display all over my house year-round. It is fitting that we start my presentation on the first day of Advent. I like to add Christmas carols from various artists so your senses are engaged in the joy that is all about the newborn Son of God, Jesus Christ, our Saviour.

This tiny Nativity is from Germany and is a magnet about 3 inches high. The penny is to show how small the detail is in the wood. The candles signify each Sunday in Advent. (Advent starts today, November 28).

The song is O Come, O Come Emmanuel and is sung by Anna Hawkins in both English and Hebrew.
