The neighboring advent wreath, I don't have a problem with. I mean, to complain about where an advent wreath is placed just feels wrong. On the other hand (and other end of the table), I did have objections to the "other" Mary and Joseph figurine. No, not the figurine itself. It's a lovely piece that belonged to Jon's grandparents. My objection is its placement next to the nativity scene. It's called "scale" as I had to inform my innocent husband. Men. There's something disturbing about looking at the sweet nativity scene and seeing a giant Mary and Joseph looming. It just gives new meaning to "no room in the Inn."

Mary and Joseph on Steroids
In my previous post, I shared how Jon proudly assembled the nativity scene gifted to us by his father and step-mother upon our marriage. I don't know what possessed my husband to then feel the need to accessorize the rest of the buffet table.

Our little white porcelein nativity scene sat sweetly within our advent wreath until Christmas day when someone put a little gray army man right next to the baby Jesus--now what's that about?
