I love this! Christmas is where it's all at.

I noticed you said you wanted another nativity so here's a suggestion for a FABULOUS nativity at a GREAT price: the store is called "Real Deals" on Stapley and Baseline (NW corner). Their nativity is only $40 and it comes in either neutrals or colors. I love it. They are only open on Thursdays and Saturdays and it's kind of in an industrial garage. Just follow the yellow signs that you'll see along Stapley/Baseline to get there. Call if you want better directions. You won't be disappointed by this inexpensive home decor store. I'm hooked!
