Description
Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heav'nly song? Joyful & triumphant. Tidings of comfort & joy. A thrill of hope. So much excitement surrounds the Christmas season. The twinkling lights, songs, anticipation of gifts & gathering with loved ones leaves room for opportunities to build joyful memories. That has always been the purpose of Christmas, the gathering to celebrate is a huge part of the holiday celebrations this time of year. I sometimes wonder what the scene looked & felt like as we prepared for that first Christmas in heaven. I imagine our Heavenly Parents bustling around, making sure everyone had a good view of the action as we watched with anticipation for the events that would happen that week that would change the world. I bet just like those little family nativity scenes we put on as kids with our cousins we each had a part to play. Keeping the animals in the stable quiet & calmed, making sure the light of the lamps glowed just bright enough, & of course the choirs of angels ready to sing praises & announce the birth of our King. I want to also imagine some musically inclined angels playing their instruments in a heavenly orchestra, maybe even a jazz band. I bet Lizzo was repping a crystal flute or Elton John & Billy Joel on piano (my parents go to like, every concert they do together), along with everyone else who wanted to participate. "Jubilee" is a nativity scene that celebrates that joy of gathering to worship the Savior. I've had this concept in mind since 2020, but knew that it would be a ton of work to carve, so I waited for motivation & for all the kinks to work themselves out & the stars aligned just right this year. Available in two different paper sizes (image size is the same). Merry Christmas! Jubilee, Nativity Scene, Christmas, Jesus Christ, Bethlehem, Holiday Season
