One is a Jim Shore nativity and the other is a carving of Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus out of a block of wood. I also have one from Israel made of olive wood, and another hand-carved one from Germany. Probably a total of 20 or so including the musical snow globe ones. My children are always on the look-out for unusual ones to give me every Christmas. I'm going to order your book, Miralee since I love everything I've read of yours. Martha W.

The tradition was it had to be home made, so one year it was cardboard and sticks and random pieces of scrap cloth.

The two pieces were hand carved. We bought them directly from the woodcarver himself on a visit to Oberammergau, the Germany were the Passion Play takes place. I love putting these special pieces out each year.Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.com
