So after over five years of marriage we have yet to pick out a nativity for our family. DH wants it to look just so i.e. style and paint job. Wile I want Mary to seem like a woman who just had a baby, a baby that she loves. Joseph to look like the man who loves her and I want animals and cute shepherds. I like the wise men, but since they weren't there that night there presence seems less important. Oh and I want Mary to have a nice face that could pass for a teenager.
Have you ever seen a nativity like that? Neither have I! The baby Jesus is almost never being touched or interacted with. He's a baby! He deserves what all babies deserve lots of kisses and cuddles, and lots and lots of breast milk. *sigh* The search continues...
Oh but check this amazingness out!

This Willow Tree one is perfect for you. Mary is even cuddling baby Jesus.

did you see Brian Kershisnik's Nativity at the BYU MOA last Christmas? Emotionally poignant. Here's a link http://newsnet.byu.edu/story.cfm/66762
