Last year at Christmas time we lost the Baby Jesus that went with our Advent calendar. We don't know at what point he went missing, but he wasn't there for Christmas morning. We searched throughout the entire house, as well as through the Christmas decorations once we cleaned everything up.
Once again this year as I pulled out the calendar I went through all the decoration boxes to see if I could find him, but to no avail he has not been found. Every couple days Brayden will say "Did we find Baby Jesus yet?" Last night Sarah said "Mom! I found Baby Jesus!" She was just joking. Not a funny joke. Why couldn't we have lost a sheep or an angel? We had to lose the main character of the Advent season?
We love our Advent calendar. My mom got it for Sarah when she was little, so it has become one of our favorite decorations. I hate to have to replace it, so I have begun a search for another Baby Jesus to fill that spot. I figured I would check craft stores, Target, any place that might have a Baby Jesus ornament or something like it.
I am putting out a request to any of you who would be willing to help us look for a Baby Jesus. If you happen to see something in your shopping that might be a good replacement let me know. The spot he needs to fit in is 2"x2".
We can use all the help we can get so that Baby Jesus can go in his manager on Christmas morning. His mother Mary and the Angels are all praying we do.
