Oh Come Let Us Adore Him

Just four more days until Christmas! We bought our first nativity earlier this month to commemorate our time in Japan. Each kokeshi doll was hand-painted, said the shop lady, who had them made after her Christian Japanese friend suggested the idea. Christmas Eve is celebrated in Japan kind of how Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the States—mostly a date night for couples—so we were excited to find this Japanese representation of Christmas morning!
