Hi Karen! I have been moved to tell a true story: one year, not so long ago, my sister-in-law was setting up her nativity scene, and when she was finished, she thought, "I wish I had some hay to scatter about the manger." Later that afternoon she stepped outside to collect the mail (or something) and there in the middle of the street was a small clump of hay! Just one small clump! Needless to say she picked it up, cut it into small pieces , and scattered the pieces among the nativity figures. She has used those bits of straw every Christmas since then.

[@carolchiocchi7703]

It warms my heart that you’re keeping the beautiful nativity set !

[@lindafulton9131]

Merry Christmas! I teared up when I saw the nativity set. I purchased that very set in 1968. I had just learned to drive and set out to find the perfect present for my parents. I bought the set and it came with a manger. It cost $50. I had saved money for a long time. My parents loved the gift.I inherited the set. It is my favorite Christmas decoration. I had not seen another one like it till your video today. Enjoy and Christmas blessings to you. Linda

My aunt has a beautiful nativity set she has used for 45+ years. Jesus is not in the nativity set until late on Christmas Eve. So an empty cradle would not bother me until Christmas morning. Love that you rescued that set and decided to keep for yourself. I get what you mean when you get a tingle.

[@cazzaa5012]

I’m so jealous when I see the amazing choice of stock in your Goodwills. In England we have tiny little charity shops that are nothing in comparison. I’d be in seventh heaven walking around Shillington Goodwill with you !

[@keepingitreal215]

Another great haul. I got excited just watching you find more treasures.

[@podrosie5059]

Love all the stuff you find! Some day when you have some extra time ha ha ha, it would be wonderful if you could do a actual packing/shipping video. I know you did one awhile back but the shipping part is sometimes overwhelming. It would be great to see how you do things. Thanks for all you share.

Oh my goodness, the Nativity set is so breathtakingly beautiful!!! I'm so happy for you!!! I so wish you could find Baby Jesus. Love your channel so much!!! You're always so upbeat and so appreciative of the things you find.

[@rockreader4298]

A few days ago, at that Goodwill, another popular reseller recognized and picked up that baby Jesus, but left him behind, because he was the only piece on the shelf. He is still there on a shelf. If I lived near there, I would go and do a thorough search for that piece for Karen, so she could complete her nativity set. Happy Holidays from Nance, a Nor Cali Gal.

[@awretchlikeme8936]

@rockreader4298 they really should have bagged Baby Jesus with the mamger and the angel and lamb she found. Not sure why they didn't.

[@karenkuhr5698]

​@awretchlikeme8936 maybe it was missing when it was donated. Hopefully, Karen will be able to find him

[@jennstumpf1]

You and Roger inspire me so much- your work ethic is just incredible and helps spur me on in my own journey. The Christmas pieces you picked are just exquisite! I don’t blame you one bit for keeping the nativity set- so beautiful!! Your organization takes my breath away! Thanks for taking us on these trips, Karen- often it’s the highlight of my day watching you guys! Have a great rest of your week!! ❤

[@missbarbarajean]

Karen, I have never written, but have been a fan for a couple of years. You are my favorite reseller on You Tube. I am so happy for you and Roger! Also, I wish I could go to the thrift stores you go to. I am in Kansas City, MO area and tried to find a Santa to put in my sleigh outdoors at Red Rax. Couldn't find anything for less than $14.99. Your Santa would have been $50. Good Will next door is worse - nothing really there, either. I loved the Nativity. Absoolutley beautiful. Wishing you both a very Merry, Blessed Christmas!

[@stephaniegonzalez947]

After I finished watching your Sunday video, I said "Noooo I don't want it to end! Come back!" and my daughter laughed at me. I was so happy to see it continue today.

[@hannakalbert-lo2rc]

You’re going to have to find a baby Jesus in order to complete the set you found…

[@kathyames2372]

The nativity is gorgeous! What a find.

[@karensobien2361]

the lamb and the blue Angel is from the same Italy nativity set you have. The angel usually is on the roof peak part of the manger looking down on the Nativity set. Very old from the early 60's I think

[@pattifore]

Karen, your channel has become my absolute favorite. You and Roger are adorable…how wonderful that you found each other through what you both love. So much of what you find evoke such sentimental memories for this 67 year old gal. Keep doing what you’re doing.

What a wonderful way to work and play at the same time! Roger and Karen, I have been totally enjoying your marathon holiday shopping for resell vids. Glad you got those Italian manger pieces. Another popular reseller was in that same Goodwill recently, recognized and picked up the missing baby Jesus, but put it back on the shelf because there was no manger or any of the other pieces of the set on the shelf, so there's a good chance it's still there. I would definitely do a thorough search of the shelves again, plus do a search for him online, to complete your set. Be Blessed!

The goodwill in North Carolina doesn't have enough item worth looking at for 10 mins, let alone all day. Amazing to watch so many KZbinrs go to incredible stores and our have broken junk that should be trash and they use black magic marker for price that ruins everything.

[@LannieLord]

Not all Goodwills are the same . The one by me has nothing but baby clothes and clear glass. Not even worth stopping in; let alone 10 minutes. Savers is bigger but more expensive and NEVER does "half off day" which is reprehensible .

Years ago I went to an estate sale ran by the deceased family members, they flew in from out of town and just wanted everything gone! I bought an Anri nativity set for $10. I was a clothing seller then and wouldn't have thought twice about buying it if I hadn't seen the $400 price tag on a box for one piece. I ended up selling each piece individually and made over $2,000. My heart still skips a beat every time I see a nativity set in the thrift! That same yard sale I bought 40 something pieces of St John suit pieces for $150. I put that stuff in the car so fast and got out of there before they could change their mind! I still wonder what goodies I left behind! That estate sale is what thrifter dreams are made of!
