While putting up a few more Christmas decorations, I took the time to change out the batteries for some lights in our nativity scene.

It is the teeniest of nativity scenes.  The tallest figures are maybe three inches high.

I used to put the trees on the dash of our old van for Christmas.  I spent a lot of time in that van, so I decorated the dash with all sorts of bling and tiny creatures.  Sometimes, while stopped at a red light, I would look over and see people in the vehicle next to us, taking pictures of it. :-D I figured, if I was going to be in the van so much, I may as well make it my happy place! :-D  One year, I got a mini Christmas tree with a tiny string of lights for the dash.  I couldn’t find it the next year, so I got a different tree, this one with its own decorations, and another set of tiny lights.  The year after that, I found both sets, and had two trees on my dash!  While parked, waiting for whomever I was picking up at the time, I would turn the lights on for a little ambiance. :-D

I started decorating the dash of the van we have now, but the surface is different, and the temporary adhesives don’t stick as well.  I only managed a bit of bling, my Happy Face (a rockfish), a toad, some turtles, tortoises, frogs and lady bugs. 

Also, the toad is holding a tiny Groot. 

I don’t spend anywhere near as much time in the van anymore, so I don’t plan to add too much more.  And no Christmas trees this year, so they get to join the nativity scene.  :-)
