Nicholas and the Nativity

We may need to work on the theology of Christmas a little more.

This is the nativity scene Nicholas made using stickers at the St. Nick party at church:
From 2011 December


While the baby Jesus flying in from the sky could work, the decapitated cow and the camel going in to kiss Mary are a little less orthodox.

Similarly, his main comment regarding our nativity scene at home is, "We don't blow down baby Jesus' house."

He has a real fascination with the big bad wolf these days. Luckily our apartment building is made of brick, so I was easily able to put aside his fears on our own account. Baby Jesus' stable, however, has elicited much concern. Well, concern that alternates with efforts for Nicholas to get a head start on the big bad wolf by huffing and puffing.
