I love decorating for Christmas with nativity sets (it's pretty much the only Christmas decor I have). 

Our friend Matt made us a hippo whistle (oh, you've never heard of the joy that is blowing into farm animal's hind ends for enjoyment? Please, by all means, click here) and we thought it fit in so nicely with one of our nativity's so we let him join the show last year and the year before. Apparently we now pack him up with our Christmas decor so we just let him stay in his rightful place next to baby Jesus (of COURSE there were hippos in Bethlehem...)

 

So, since I love nativities I was delighted when Adam added one to my collection last year. And this one an ORNAMENT nativity for the tree!

But, oh makers of nativites--you who specialize in bringing the peaceful feeling of that holy night (silent night, if you will) to your craft right along with the sleeping babe-- why oh why would your hanging of choice be a string around Joseph's neck?

Was that really the best we could do?

There was no other option for how to hang this ornament on the tree?

Somebody needs to get fired.

Or hung.
