Christmas is coming soon, only 29 days left ...

Apparently, the first staging of a nativity scene was carried out by Saint Francis of Assisi in the church of the convent of El Greccio, Italy, during the Christmas Eve mass of 1223 ...

Now it is always done with nativity sets and different Christmas decoration and sometimes together with a Christmas tree...

it is particularly common in Latin-american countries...

In Venezuela is a real tradition and all us remember vividly when we were kids and were helping our family to do it, then we did the same with our kids ...

I am showing you one I found in a shopping centre here in Caracas ...

and by the way the tradition in here is to wait until Christmas to put baby Jesus in the crib ...

I hope you like it...
