I collect nativities - my favorites are one from Israel and one that is very much like the one my parents had when I was small. I used to move the pieces around to see if my mom noticed (she did, but she didn't mind.)

I don't really have any Christmas collections, however, I am looking forward to having enough space to put my Fontanini nativity out again one Christmas. I would love to add to what I have. I actually collect pianos, but they aren't a Christmas decoration.<br />Thanks for the history of the Nutcracker and the giveaway. <br />bettimace at gmail dot comBettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645337615635154815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-83865097615411467282017-12-11T10:03:31.284-05:002017-12-11T10:03:31.284-05:00Hi Martha.
