In addition to an artificial Christmas tree with lots of flashy silver and gold garlands, tinsel, and bulbs, my grandparents had a classic nativity scene they put under the tree. The wood manger remained long after the plastic figures were lost of the Three Kings, animals, Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus. I prided myself on being a crafty kid and created replacement characters for the nativity using cotton balls and pantyhose for the heads and fabric scraps for the clothing. My kind parents did not tell me that I made the family look like muppets or aliens.
