I'm thinking the new candle holder one I can keep out all year. I suppose I could burn incense cones in it, too, if I wanted, but that may stain it, would rather just do candles.

Harley's girl :

We set out at least...the very least 3 every Christmas. I want my girls to know the true meaning to Christmas!

I used to babysit this little girl who was about 4 years old, One year I bought her a child's nativity set - was unbrekable, so she could play with it and move the figures where she wanted. She loved it.

I was just telling FrChuck on the KY thread that I like the different looking ones - the hand carved, or different material ones. I'd love to have one of the olive wood hand carved folk art looking ones I've seen on ebay. Don't think I could justify that kind of money to hubby, though - I already made him buy me a 70 dollar St. Michael statue

It is a very pretty statue, though

I've been trying to hint to my family to give me nativities when they run across them at yard sale, flea markets and the like - who needs brand new, just get me some nice used ones for Christmas, I'll be happy

(heck, I'd even pay them to keep their eyes peeled for some for me - they always forget to look for them, though).

I'd love to find a ncie one with all the animals and such - none of my sets have animal figures.

I just drug out one that I don't remember who gave to me and whether they made it or bought it, but it's a Southwest style nativity with Indians. It's cute, but a couple of pieces have the feather broken off or something, nothing major, but little dings. I was going to put it on Ebay last year and forgot all about until I saw this thread. Now I'm frantically digging out all the Christmas stuff I was going to sell lol!

My mom was an artist and made a beautiful 61-piece ceramic nativity scene that won some awards. If I'd known she was going to be gone at age 54 I would have asked to have it, but by that time it was gone who knows where.

Major bummer!!

yeah, we never know when something will be priceless to us. Maybe that's why I'm such a pack rat

I won a new nativity on ebay last night, it is ceramic, has an antiqued finish - it's a small set (in size) but it is nice.

There is one in carved wood that looks like it needs some major love - been left out in the snow or rain, I think, definately needs some oil rubbed into the wood. If I didn't think hubby would have a hissy fit, I'd buy it just to fix it up a bit.

As it is, he asked me last night how many Nativities do I really need.

I simply asked him how much WW2 memorabilia he needs. He shut up after that.
