Hmm...modernity has come down to this, eh? The emperor really has no clothes. Why not just type out the letters on paper and forget the wood to be realllly minimalist? As Charlie Brown would say..Good Grief.

Well, you could look at the piece symbolically, as where they stand and coexist with the other blocks represents the whole idea of the nativity scene, without the need for highly detailed models which only enforce the materialism that Christianity speaks out against. I could be reading too deep into this, but ya. And Ted, aren't we all children of God? :P

I get how it's less, but how is it more?

More would mean something like taking it to some level that no other nativity scene does.

This just looks like a child's blocks.
