Do you have a nativity scene in your house at Christmas?

Asked by josie (30934points) December 16th, 2019

Is it modern or classic?

I’m not Christian, or anything for that matter, but I figure Jesus Christ’s influence is all over the Western world so his birthday merits some respect. Mine belonged to my mom.

No. I will take out my menorah in a week or so.

I have a new nativity scene I bought in Mexico three years ago. I guess I would call it “modern” because the figures are more stylistic and representational than traditional carvings.

I leave them out until January 7.

No. I’m Jewish and Unitarian and while I celebrated Christmas while I was married, we never did anything remotely religious on it.

No.
But I work in a catholic hospital and they just announced they were having a blessing of the nativity scene in 10 minutes. I won’t be attending.

Yes, my family is Catholic so we have a Nativity scene as well as an advent wreath.

I keep it out all of the time.

@Sagacious
I sometimes think about keeping Christmas lights up all year around.

I have a little one where the figures are fixed in place. It was about $12 from Walmart.

I also have a Peanuts one with the characters from Charlie Brown. That one is not out on display.

I didn’t take out many Christmas decorations yet. I usually do things last minute.

@josie I have white Christmas lights strung in my window in the kitchen, year round. They’re pretty just to light it up at night. Cozy.

@josie Oh don’t. It’s tacky. My little nativity is enjoyed only by me. :)
