As we unloaded our Christmas
paraphenalia this year, I thought about giving our Little People manger scene to a friend down the street with a younger daughter. Glad I didn't follow through too hastily on that idea! Meg has played with that set EVERY day since. We love reenacting the Christmas story with our own special embellishments: the three kings arrive caroling and wake the just-settled baby Jesus; Mary sends Joseph for take-out; Mary asks the three kings if they brought any diapers... God has a sense of humor, right?
Well, we have a little hitch. The cow goes "moo," the sheep goes "baa," the donkey "hee-haws"...
What DOES a camel say?
For now, ours says, "camel-camel-camel."

We just got the Little People nativity this year. It's been almost sacreligious in our house - Baby Jesus in the Dora house with Ariel and Cinderella, Mary on the Little People plane with Noah (from our ark set) and Diego. I hope God has a sense of humor!
Oh - and in our house camels say 'spit, spit.'
i think camels just spit.
our little people nativity has been lots of fun this year. especially when i was on the phone with a friend the other day when i asked her if it was bad that i was getting ready to yell at my kids because they were fighting over who could play with the baby Jesus!
