Comment on Festive and Plaid Christmas Mantel by Barb.
How sad, that as a Christian, you can so easily judge me and my family from a few images on a blog. You do not know my heart or my relationship with my Jesus Christ. You should be very proud of your home and how you pay homage to the Lord and your faith, but I would never judge someone who prefers a simple nativity (which I have set up for my grandchildren.) Christmas is about everything, because it’s a happy and joyous time when all hearts are open to love and forgiveness and the power of the birth of our Savior. I don’t want my grandchildren to grow up thinking that collecting and displaying a myriad of pictures and statues is what makes one Godly. Rather, I choose to show them how human kindness and generosity, like collecting Winter coats and baking cookies to take to the local Old Age Home, is what God truly intended for us. One does not have to have commercially produced nativities and pictures of nativities within their home to know the love and mercy of Our Father. That, my friend, is what is stored in your heart and how you treat and respect others. Merry Christmas, and thank you for coming to my home for a visit. You are welcome here anytime.

Hi Linda,
Unfortunately I purchased them locally. I have tried to find similar ones online to share a source but have not found anything even close. Sorry. π

Hi Jane – yes we do need to take care of ourselves. I am an independent type and do not like others taking care of me. Health is so, so important in our everday being. Wishing you and yours a Happy and Healthy 2018. xxoo
