Nativity Scenes
Our friends Deb and Luc along with their dog Hairy Pawter arrived around lunch time for a long overdue visit. Luc was one of the lucky people who helped us move last year. An advertisement for the Thousands of Nativity Scenes had been delivered to our door earlier in the week so Deb and I decided to go and have a look. Last year when Ed and I had gone it was very busy so I was happy to see an almost empty parking lot this year. The display was as amazing. One of the local churches borrows nativity scenes from people in the area then sets up the display. We were told that it takes 2 weeks to set it up. A girl who I would guess was around 10 years old, pointed out several things to us .... one was a nativity scene in half a walnut shell and nativity scenes on the cloths that other scenes were displayed on.
The nativity scenes themselves were beautiful and so were the rooms they were displayed in.
This one was made using different types of wood.
There were several scenes where the characters were animals ... in this case sheep but also bears, dogs, and cats.
The silver set in the middle was made in Mexico.
