Not Very Long To Go Now

Never seen a gravid Virgin Mary in a nativity scene before!

I may pop back and see how she's doing during the twelve days of Christmas!

[moni kozi]

True! Quite original representation

[Susan Wakely]

She must be due any day soon!

[JackieR]

@wakelys EDD 25th December! Going to knacker her whole Christmas
@monikozi isn't it?!

[Susan Wakely]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I hope that she gets the boy that she wants.

[Joan Robillard]

TOO precious

[mittens (Marilyn)]

This is so interesting looking.

[katy]

I absolutely love this. We never get to see a before shot Dewey?

By the way Christmas wasn’t Christmas until after her due date and delivery so it’s not going to knacker anything for her

[JackieR]

@wakelys she's hoping for a girl!
@joansmor isn't it??!!
@grammyn every day's a school day here on 365!!!

[Anne]

How unusual Jackie, beautifully painted figures too. I love this

[katy]

❤️ LOL❣️

[Babs]

Oh this is brilliant Jackie. Hope you go back on Christmas Day to see the newborn. Maybe even twins. I wonder if they are taking bets. fav.

[Leslie]

what a lovely manger . it's a first for me to see her still with child

[haskar]

I love this.

[Monica]

Interesting! I had never seen one before, either!

[Gillian Brown]

That’s different!

[Cazzi]

She's ready to pop!

[JackieR]

@serendypyty being induced for delivery on Saturday
@gillian1912 isn't it!!!
@monicac it annoys my daughter, an atheist,bthst Baby Jesus is in the manger before Christmas Day!!
@haskar I did too
@lesip very eye catching
@onewing not Christmas Day Babs, but I will go back
@grammyn x
@365anne a bit like Weebles?!

[bkb in the city]

That certainly is a first

[LManning (Laura)]

The first wise man also looks a little rotund? Do keep us posted.

[Kathy]

Ho ho ho! An unusual manger scene, but probably very true. Joseph's just sick about it.

[Kathy A]

I think this is the nicest nativity scene I’ve ever seen

[Denise Wood]

Fascinating! it will be interesting to see her on Christmas day :)

[JackieR]

@bkbinthecity @gilbertwood @kjarn @randystreat @ljmanning

Promise to nip across the county line when I can to look!!

[Mary Siegle]

How cool! Now, I hope after the birth they will let her lay there in the straw with the babe in the crook of her arm and Joseph’s cloak over them. Most of the time they’ve got her kneeling with her hands in a praying position. Totally not a newly delivered mother.

@mcsiegle @bkbinthecity @gilbertwood @kjarn @randystreat @ljmanning @serendypyty @gillian1912 @monicac @haskar @lesip @lesip @onewing @grammyn @365anne @mittens @joansmor @wakelys @monikozi

As promised, I crossed the county line and checked if Mary and Joseph were proud parents and guess what? They are and I've posted a proud parents photo today for you all.

Hoping you all had as fab a christmas as I did

[katy]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks for going to all that trouble for all of us Jackie. You are a treasure

[JackieR]

@grammyn a promise is a promise
