My personal favorite was a family who would start with the standard softly radiant nativity, then surround it with shepherds, sheep, a mule, a homemade manger, wise men, a kneeling Santa, then at a respectful, honorguard-like distance, a semicircle of alternating snowmen and soldier/nutcrackers. This was all lovingly encircled in a candycane fence.Shieldmaiden96https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673938377819957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-25022589517721657562008-11-29T10:42:00.000-05:002008-11-29T10:42:00.000-05:00On New Years, Blow UP Blow Mold Jesus...On New Years, Blow UP Blow Mold Jesus...Ray Janeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965985187123647698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-32932638206517270622008-11-29T10:38:00.000-05:002008-11-29T10:38:00.000-05:00I would so totally come out to watch Blow Mold Jes...I would so totally come out to watch Blow Mold Jesus.
