This one-of-a-kind interactive experience is perfect for inviting others to engage in conversation about the true meaning of Christmas.
Prepare your family for Christmas with a daily practice of gentle service. Set includes a hardcover picture book, handmade wooden manger, cloth baby Jesus in swaddling clothes, and 50 strips of “straw” (yellow paper). The book tells of an innkeeper’s son who made a bed for baby Jesus by filling a manger with straw. In the days leading up to Christmas, family members (kids and grown-ups) write acts of kindness they’ve done on strips of “straw,” then add them to the manger. By the time Christmas arrives, the manger is soft enough for a King.
