Found: The Story of The Lost Magi
Phoebe and I are Godparents to a pair of boys (a pair of young men, I suppose, now) in Spokane. And a while back we decided to borrow a Godparenting practice from a friend. The friend’s practice was this: they had bought their Godchild a nativity set (i.e., a collection of those little figurines or action figures that commemorate Jesus’ birth) but, rather than delivering the set to the child all at once, they were gifting them a single figurine each year. So, one Christmas Joseph would appear in the mail. The next would see the arrival of Mary. And then Jesus himself. Gradually, over a decade or more, everyone would show up for Christmas.
