The Big Man and I got married in early November, which meant our first Christmas as a married couple was less than six weeks afterwards.
We both agreed that the one necessary decoration we needed was a nativity set.
Not like one of these:

I wanted something simple, elegant and spiritual; luckily my husband wanted the same.
So, one of our first purchases as a married couple was our manger.
All these years later, I love how he covers the baby Jesus in tissue paper until Christmas. It's a small touch, but it speaks volumes.
Just like that little baby who changed the world.
