Clay Pot Nativity....

 I was accosted by a Nativity Pot Gang. 

As you can imagine, I was grateful we weren't in a dark alley.
After containing my fear....I took a closer look

And away in those mangers I found...
Joseph to be rather perplexed...(Obviously with good reason.)

His wife appeared to be Phyllis Diller....

and was about to be attacked by a steaming hot glue gun...

The prep work to honor a Baby King looked dangerous. 

Mary had a successful run with Latisse...
(unfortunately, she accidentally shaved her head.)
 

However shortly thereafter, she bought herself a red curly wig and gave birth to twins...
 

What I learned was that while some people make a life-sized Gingerbread house,

 Others put their heart and soul into clay pot nativity scenes.

Shepherds patiently hold dirty little hands....
while burning their fingers, in order to tell the story of Jesus' Birth. 

After it is all done...
As we watch Baby Jesus....He sits in wide-eyed wonder watching us....

"For to us a child is born, to us a Son is given; and the Government shall be upon His Shoulder, and His Name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." ~Isaiah 9:6

God, in all shapes and sizes- we celebrate YOU and Your Coming Here.

In His Dust,
