The Nativity

This Nativity is roughly 63 years old. It was my parents first Nativity and it has been ours for quite some time. It’s very fragile and the plastic statues have seen better days, but it holds so many happy memories for me.

Beautiful! We had a similar nativity growing up. Those plastic figures are long gone but I remember them well.

Beautiful photograph and a beautiful nativity, too!

Lovely. I put the one I had as a child up this year. Talk about plastic statues having seen better days. Had to prop up the donkey on the manger wall because it has two broken legs.

Oh my gosh! If you look closely you can see our donkey is propped up too! Joseph is leaning on the back wall!

I have my parent's nativity... how wonderful to hold on to memories of times past.

@calm
Yes, especially since my parents have both passed it’s very special to me.

Nice heirloom. It is nice to see that some families still have reminders of the true meaning of Christmas.

Yes Skip, it is a nice heirloom even in it’s condition and I will always have it up in my home.
