Funny story. I inherited our old family Nativity scene. My Dad built the manger building. My Mom bought the figures a few at a time at after Christmas sales, so none of them match. Some of the sheep are from my brother’s Lionel train set but the starring role of Jesus is played by my tiny rubber baby doll that I named baby Anna. People probably wonder why I put that tattered old Manger scene under the tree every year but it means the world to me. Merry Christmas everyone!

That is so funny as I have almost the same thing happen in my family, too, My uncle built a nice manger for my mother years ago and over years we have added pieces to the scene. We have a large number of people and animals of all different sizes and ilks. It may look a bit to odd to the observer but it is very special top me as I have inherited it. It is not the fancy curated nativities that you can buy in the stores, but I remember almost every single piece and how they came to be.

My family creche (not an expensive one) had two sheep whose legs had become broken. My mother had purchased two replacements but I said Oh no! The broken legged sheep had to stay too! My mother said okay. So the flock grew. The one most broken would be placed so his head would hang over the cardboard railing of the stable so he could balance on three legs.

So many wonderful items you've gathered. Your home must be silently singing, and reminiscing of olden days, and those who lived there. But you've started making your own memories and boy they're number 1 in my opinion. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of something wonderful to behold.

While we were dating as students in NJ in our first Christmas together over 30 years ago, we rolled up pennies and took them to the bank. We had enough to purchase a tree. We brought it back to the apt we rented, and it turned out to be too tall but we made it work. The landlord’s cat would visit us often, and together we became a family that Christmas.

That was beautifully done, you have a filmmaker's eye for detail, and pacing. We share a taste for humble, Woolworth decorations which, a bit sparse and frumpy to some eyes, confuse younger people who see my place at Christmas. I grew up with a very secular celebration of Christmas, but as a boy I decided we needed a nativity scene, so my mother and I went on quite the expedition to many stores. I remember both of us laughing at one, with plastic figures that had light bulbs inside, so they had a kind of radioactive glow. Anyway, I found the creche of my dreams at The Broadway, a somewhat upscale department store in southern California, and my mother paid the $12,50 without question. I keep the receipt, yellowed and crumbling, with the creche, to remind me of that day. Sorry to ramble, but you have a way of connecting us with our memories. Thanks!
