12 Days of Modest Fashion - Day 7

So today it is cold outside.  Hence my red nose and cheeks, my thumbs stuffed inside my fists and my rigidly awkward pose.  But hey, Ian found his shoes today! :)
I took this dress down to my size (from L) the other day at the same time I made the skirt I wore two days ago.  It's kind of more of a summer dress, but I wanted to wear it anyways (it's new!), and I've never been much in favour of dressing in all dark colours for winter anyways.
I'm wearing a silk turtleneck from my Grandmum underneath (it is a sleeveless dress), and a dark blue denim shirt over top with a gold belt and a butterfly buckle on top of it all. 
Natasha's theme for today is to post a picture of your Christmas tree.  We don't have a Christmas tree, instead with have a big nativity scene which we set up each year to put the presents under - and all around :).  Ten people, each giving a gift to everyone, plus gifts from aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and friends makes for a lot of packages!  Mommy and Daddy started the manger scene when they were engaged, and every year we add another something to it.  We're just about out of things we can add though.  And we've replaced most everything that can be replaced.  I'm not sure what we're going to add this year.  We haven't finished setting it up yet this year, but here is a picture of what it looked like a couple years ago.  I had no idea how few pictures we actually have of our manger scene!  Well, I found plenty, but this is the only one that didn't have people in front of it.  All the rest were taken on Christmas morning.
