I don’t know about you, but I am getting into the Christmas spirit. And with only a few weeks left in the year, I’m sure some of you are into Christmas songs full-swing. If not, don’t stress!

Box labeled “Ornaments” – keep all of your items in the box, to stay organized!
Small Christmas tree (to place the ornaments on, of course)

Jesus in the manger piece from a nativity scene
