She is reading the Bible. The room has some decorations piled in the corner, could be an undecorated tree, box of decorations, wreath. There should be a table in the room for the manger scene. The tree is undecorated and I have not gotten the nativity set out yet and Christmas is just a couple days away. I couldn t even go to the Christmas program at church tonight.
Children come in - taking off coats, hats and throw in a corner or on a chair.
Yes, a surprise, be back in a minute. They rush from the room. Children return carrying or or two boxes whatever it takes to carry the manger set. Children - put the boxes down. They will hold the figure while they talk and then put it down.
