Comments on: Not Your Mother’s Nativity Scene http://thebadmomsclub.com/2009/12/not-your-mothers-nativity-scene.html Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.

I think adding "the extras" is more than appropriate...it changes the birth of Jesus from simply a story about a baby being born to a poor family--regardless of how common or special the birth was--into a statement of belief: that he came to redeem human beings of all times and places, and to guarantee that all of creation will one day be restored to its original pristine state. That is the theme of the entire Bible, from start to finish. I know...just when you think you came up with an idea that is a bit naughty or off-the-wall, lo and behold, God already came up with it long before time began. But kudos to you for figuring it out on your own! (Yes, I know this post is from last year.)

If I was to ever have a Nativity scene in my house (which isn't likely since I don't follow that crap) I'd hire you to come create it :) Any Son of God should be able to hold his own against a T-Rex!!

He's obviously just an appetizer. It's the entrée of Mary that will be the true culinary test. @MayoPie I think you're right, my husband agrees. @mapsgirl Your kids may be right. Who to say that it wasn't a bus driver instead of donkey that got Mary and Joseph there? The Bible probably used a donkey because it sounded more romantic. @AVapidBlonde

Those are funny! My kids have the FP Little People nativity sets. It's funny when they start mixing in the other Little People. It's so hard to explain that the Bus Driver probably wasn't there when Jesus was born. But what do I know?!?! LOL!! Those are funny! My kids have the FP Little People nativity sets.
