Day 341: Away in a Manger

My mother bought this manger the first year as a new bride. It boggles my mind that this was 72 years ago.

It's mine now. I hope to pass this down to my grand-daughter or grand-son one day.

A real treasure to have

@milaniet Thank you ... I hope my grandchildren will treasure this like I have for the last 44 years! My mom gave it to us after we got engaged ... and rented our first home.

It was tradition in our house that the manger was the FIRST Christmas decoration to be put out ... always.

Lovely keepsake

@ziggy77 Every year it brings back memories of my mom and growing up. I was very fortunate to have the mom I had. She was wonderful.
