I put out more of the (never ending) nativity this year than I have before, and I still didn’t have room for it all! I don’t know when this collection is going to end, or if it ever does honestly. I am about to cancel it though since I just don’t have the room (or time!) to put the whole thing out each year. I did finally get three camels for all of the wise men (so they don’t have to ride bulls or elephants – yes there is an elephant in this set!).

I particularly like the priest/friar on at the far right, carrying a bound book, which I guess is the bible. I like to think of him as coming in a time machine from the future to witness Baby Jesus’ birth.

This is the parade of musicians, angels and some townsfolk. I like the Roman soldier at the far right, always a welcomed sight at Jesus’ birth. I guess he’s hunting down Mary and Joseph.

I put mainly townsfolk with food items on this table. It is directly across the room from the cabinet with the manger on top. I put the guy at the front pointing toward the manger as to say “Hey people, we gotta go there!”
