Haiku my heart!

Our family nativity, 1969. I bought a plastic one so the boys could touch and play with the people.


When I was a child
I spoke as a child
And saw events in a childish way, innocent.
I will not put away my childish ways.

    So beautiful. When I was a kid--I loved the old nativity set. Mom still uses it, with the occasional addition of a toy from small hands, standing over the manger. (grin)

    Thanks for the memories, Peggy, I loved my nativity set when I was a kid. Hettienne has a good idea about creating a shrine. That has great possibilities!

    I absolutely love this haiku. We always had a nativity set. It was part of the whole tradition of our household. Things have changed in my life and I have gone away from the old traditions for a variety of reasons. You have sparked wonderful thoughts and the fondest of memories into my head with this post. Thank you.

    Peace
