Seven years ago I bought my own nativity scene.
There is the family,
a choir of angels,
and three wise men (kings?) who have taken up residence near the dictionaries.
The characters may be traditional but they inhabit a multi-story urban dwelling. The angels get the penthouse suite!

How lovely and all just as it should be. Love the fact that the wise men are next to the dictionaries! Your reading tastes seem to be rather like mine too from the books on your shelves. Happy Christmas!
Oh yes- what a glorious way to arrange your nativity scene. Magi by dictionaries, shepherds by cookbooks [not sure about Joseph standing next to 'how clean is your house?' though - Kim and Aggie would have been horrified by the stable!!]
But a great reminder that Christmas is about God WITH Us - He comes to where we are and is right beside us in the thick of our daily grind,
Christmas blessings - thanks for a great blog [always, not just today!]
PS I shall be blogging about cribs [inc this one] on Christmas Eve!
I love Sue's idea of moving Magi closer as Epiphany approaches
I love the idea of having bookshelves be a part of the festivities. (I do that myself!)
Happy Christmas.
It's lovely, and the placings on the bookcase just perfect.
What a lovely set, I particularly like the sheep!
Our Church gradually move the Magi up the church throughout advent.

How fun to have them on the bookcase. I love the angels on high and the wise men by the reference works.
A merry Christmas to you and yours.
I love these rituals and those are rather splendid, rather serious looking kings.
What a great idea!
When I was a little girl we made a crib using my dolls... Improvisation, you see!
I love cribs too. The best we ever had was made when the children were small out of a sort of baked and painted play dough. It lasted about five years until it gently mouldered away. Love your magi. They are perfect.
I had to smile...the Penthouse Suite! Very appropriate.
