Christmas decor
I don't do Christmas trees. I am not against people who do. I just don't. However, I do love a good nativity scene. It is my new "thing". When I go to a new country, I buy a nativity from there and this is how I decorate for Christmas. Here you see 5 different countries represented. ( I have been to 14, but I just started this recently.) Starting top left and going clockwise... Spain, Uganda, Peru, Mexico, Czech Republic. (The one from Peru was a gift. It is the only one I didn't buy myself.) I love how each country depicts the birth of Christ in their own context. I also love that the Mexican Joseph has blond hair and a blond beard and is wearing a pink hat. I love that Ugandan Mary's hands are bigger than mine. And I love that the one from Peru is in an egg. I found it interesting that in France during Christmas at all of the Christmas markets I searched, there was not a nativity to be found. What is up with that, France???
