Build A Christmas Nativity Countdown


Starting on December 14th,  (Yes! 12 days BEFORE Christmas) place one piece to your nativity set out daily until Christmas when the final piece is added..

This could be used with an indoor nativity set,  a set printed out and laminated with magnets on the back for the fridge, or even your outdoor nativity set.

Have your child read the poem and place the piece to remember the 
"True Reason For The Season".



Dec 14th - The Angel
The angel was sent to Mary
With news of a coming great joy
She was to be the mother
Of a Special Holy boy





Dec 15th - Add Mary 

God chose Mary
For a very special part
In His plan of salvation
She pondered in her heart





Dec 16th - Add Joseph

Joseph, an earthly father
For God’s only son
To protect and care for his family
Now God’s plan had begun





Dec 17th - Add Stable

Though He was the King of Kings
A manger was his first bed
In the stable in Bethlehem
As the prophecies had said





Dec 18th - Add The Donkey 

The donkey was there at the start
In the stable that first day
And served on the flight into Egypt
To carry the family away

The sheep were there to witness His birth
And watch over Him in the hay
We are now a part of His Flock
Thankful for our Shepherd born that day

The shepherds were invited
By the angels to celebrate His birth
Don’t be afraid Hear the Angels songs
Of Good will and Peace on Earth

Camels made the long journey
Carrying wise men from a far
Bearing gifts for the baby
Following God’s Special star

Each one with a gift to give
Wise men still seek Him today
So that we might eternally live

A star God placed in His heavens
To guide men to his son
May its light burn brightly in your heart
As you praise the Holy One.

Born that silent night
A baby meek and mild
To save you, redeem you and guide you
God’s Holy Child





Dec 25th - Read Holy Scriptures Luke 2 or Bible

For unto us was born that day
The Savior of the World
The fulfillment of God’s promises
Given in His Holy Word.
