With 4 Little grands around I haven't put it out for the last 6 years. Instead we have the toy Fisher Price set that they can play with. Last year Joseph, Baby Jesus, the shepherd and 1 of the kings have gone missing. I suspect in the toy box in the basement. My mom still has the thick cardboard set that she's had her entire adult life. It's older than me (59). It makes me happy to see it each year.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-7613169270728611652022-12-13T23:51:49.241+00:002022-12-13T23:51:49.241+00:00What a lovely tradition and so many are really bea...What a lovely tradition and so many are really beautiful and unique.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-91133051297491276642022-12-12T23:30:50.395+00:002022-12-12T23:30:50.395+00:00My oldest son bought me something very similar to ...My oldest son bought me something very similar to your 4th picture and I love it. <br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-35330908603268194242022-12-12T17:02:18.076+00:002022-12-12T17:02:18.076+00:00Goodness...some intricate dusting required on thos...Goodness...some intricate dusting required on those! xWinters End Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924495691256051693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-85394560588712774132022-12-12T15:22:29.623+00:002022-12-12T15:22:29.623+00:00I am a little ashamed that I have a beautiful nati...I am a little ashamed that I have a beautiful nativity set, hand painted. It is not especially old, but it is beautifully done. I haven't gotten in out in a few years.

We saw some wonderful nativity scenes e the times we were in a Mexico City around Christmas time. It is a coincidence as I have just unpacked a terracotta nativity set I bought there. To saw the sheep are “naive” would be kind…they are so badly made they are good. The figures, however, are wonderful.Travellernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-33960007015646528742022-12-12T13:11:41.820+00:002022-12-12T13:11:41.820+00:00I tend to like the most traditional Nativity cribs...I tend to like the most traditional Nativity cribs. I notice our garden centers and gift shops carry lots of merchandise but no Nativities. I do not own a Nativity crib but I am looking to purchase.

My Willow Tree set is out, after careful consideration of a child safe location (no high mantel piece in this bungalow) I'm horrified to realise that the one with the Magi in your picture now costs in excess of £400! I have a little wooden set for the children to play with, and a matryoshka nesting set.
