The Reason

Nativity Tie o’ the Day takes its place around the “Day of the Dead”-style nativity scene, which Suzanne got for me when we were in Taos, NM in October.

I’ve seen nativity scene figures made out of pipe cleaners, and out of Coke cans. I’ve seen them made out of Wrigley’s gum wrappers. I’ve seen them carved into stone, and I’ve seen one sketched into the sand on a beach in Delaware. My grandma glued little toy nativity figures into milkweed pods. I could go on, but I won’t. No matter what style of nativity scene speaks to your heart, the point is this: Don’t you dare forget what this jolly, holiday hullabaloo is supposed to be about.

Peace, friends.
