John is from the Middle East - near where Jesus was actually born - and takes exception to our little wooden stables that we use here in the U.S.A. to display our nativity scenes at Christmas. Structures over in that area were NEVER made of wood and in that time period stables AND houses were often carved right into the mountain side or made of the white stone common in that part of the world. Therefore, I now have this wonderful cave to display my nativity! What do you think of it? I LOVE IT!!!!
I have been busy trying to re-package edible gifts that I've picked up for Christmas gifts. Store packaging is usually so UGLY - and besides - its fun to devise ways to make them look better! This particular box contains yummy Butter Fudge that will be going to one of my husband's brothers.

Thanks for visiting - and a special thank you to all TEN of you who subscribed to my blog this week!!! How exciting for me!!!
Remember - whether you say Merry Christmas or simply Happy Holiday - there would be no holiday to celebrate on December 25th if not for the birth of Christ. It would simply be just another day. HE is the reason for the season.

your husband's "cave" is amazing. i too have a reclyner warrior but i don't think he could have come up with what yours did.
Your nativity cave is AWESOME!! It's so realistic, just like Jesus is there in your house. Soooo cool! Merry Christmas!
No, my DH would not even think of making anything like this---just beautiful! The Nativity set is beautiful too! What a special treasure this is (your DH too!).

Wow! I love your Nativity cave. So much more realistic. What is it made out of? Maybe I could get my dh to do something like that for me!
Wow! Your nativity scene is gorgeous! Your DH did a fantastic job!
The Nativity Scene is Totally Awesome. What great workmanship.
What a great piece of art and such a great item to hand down from generation to generation.
Merry Christmas to one and all and may you all have a very Blessed New Years.
The nativity looks very much at home, and certainly suits its surroundings. We may have to rethink how we do things, it's beautiful! I wanted to also thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Best wishes for a very Blessed Christmas.
