Clever idea!

haha – you could also save money by making your own – all you need is a Sharpie and a Jenga set :)

Or, become even more minimal by not believing in bronze-age myths.

To me, minimalism is limiting my life to things that are significant to me. My precious olive wood figurines would take up the same amount of space as these blocks of wood, but are beautiful and meaningful.

I believe minimalism is about having fewer things that you love, not just having something to take up space.

@Victor: Your use of bronze-age is ragingly inaccurate. Perhaps you could become more minimal by loosing your misconceptions about history.

In addition to that, I’m sure you could become more minimal by cutting back on the judgmental worldview too.

I love this! We’ve (unsuccesfully) been looking for a nativity set, but if this one was sold around here, it’d definately win! ;)

Agreeing w/ Christy Z. I love nativity scenes, these wouldn’t do it for me. Just shows different strokes for different folks.
