I've realllly tried to force myself not to buy any new Christmas decorations. Not only do I need to save my money, but I have no where to store these new-shiny-lovely Christmas things.
So...I just worked with a few things I already had. Since I'm not actually spending Christmas day at my house in DC, I'll get my fill of Christmas cheer, trees, lights and decorations in Mississippi.
I used my copper tray and filled it with greenery, fruit, copper painted Magnolia leaves, some festive balls and a little birdie. Kind of wild looking, but hey--I'm digging the natural vibe.
This is my favorite nativity scene from childhood. Gran Fran gave it to me and I got to keep it in my room when I was a little girl. I loved the baby Jesus. I remember picking him up and holding him. I'm missing a wise man--but they don't make the set anymore. I scour eBay every year looking--maybe one day!

Do you have a traditional Christmas decoration (like my mini manger scene) that you put out each year?
Have to say - I adore your decorations and your nativity set! So sweet!
