It’s a magical Christmas when you catch the garden fairies in the midst of their Christmas preparations! I don’t mind a bit that they borrowed one of my Christmas tree ornaments for their own use for the day. It’s Christmas! They can borrow whatever they’d like to make their day a festive one.
They can even borrow this Nativity set.
It’s life size to them. Made of pipe cleaners and felt, this little Nativity set was a gift from my Uncle Albert to my mom at least sixty years ago, I’d guess. Now it is mine to keep safe and secure, though apparently it wasn’t that secure because the garden fairies found it. I guess it just shows that they, too, know the true Gift of the Christmas Season.
To you and yours, from all of us at May Dreams Gardens…
