Merry Christmas, Friends! To wish you all a very joyous holiday, I'm sharing a few images from my heirloom nativity display. I hope you have a wonderful celebration with your loved ones
They saw the child with His mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped Him. Matthew 2:11
Just in case you aren't familiar with the history of my cherished nativity, I will retell the story. When my mother was a girl, she gave her mother a new nativity figurine each year. My grandmother handed down the set to my mother, who then gave it to me. This year, I've placed the heirloom nativity under a miniature tree in my bedroom so it is the first thing I see when I wake up! Below, you can see how it looks at night time.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Cecilia and your family! I was SOOO behind schedule this year; we got my Nativity set up on 12/23. It is an old inexpensive plastic set with new pieces added over the years (even a couple of Fontanini's!). I collect more wise men (rumor has it there were more than 3!) and shepherds and sheep and angels! I have a Maine moose in with the camels, some Maine black bears, tiny penguins (SO's nickname!), and a black sheep. The battery candles behind Baby Jesus and a trio of angels added a lot of character to it. Gifted several vintage pieces to my daughter for her set; I think EVERY king should have his own camel! Thank you for all the joy you bring us all year long!
