The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay tending their sheep,
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise Men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
This star drew nigh to the northwest,
Over Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

Great shots. Love this post!

I have the willow tree nativity and I adore it.
FIRST OF ALL - I swear to God, this song was in my head when I went to your blog. It freaked me out so much when I started reading your words that were stuck in my head.
WEIRD.
Secondly - your photos are AWESOME. Beautifully done, darling.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to have a chocolate mint brownie. :)

Oh my gosh, that first picture is flippin' awesome!
Awesome!!! We really need to get a nativity set that wasn't made by Fisher Price or Play Mobil.
You are SO EFFING AWESOME.
Just sayin'.
Love that last photo. I thin it would make a cool framed print.
I like this post, it made me feel are warm and fuzzy and Christmasy inside! : )
What a neat idea- to "illustrate" a song through photos! Very inspiring :)
OMG Erin, beautiful post and lovely pictures.
This post is put together so beautifully! I really enjoyed it! We were thinking along the same lines as I also captured my Willow Tree nativity.
I love this. Where did you get those gorgeous stars?
