I have a couple nativity sets though neither is particularly full of sentimental value to me. I can't remember where I got the first one but it's the teeniest, tiniest, bite-sized nativity you've ever seen, with baby Jesus being about the size of a pea--a split pea that is. The other I got at Walmart for about $9.95 because I figured I really ought to have a nativity set and as I didn't really like any of the sets I saw in the stores, one was as good as another so I went for cheapest. Ten years later it's still not fancy or pretty but it's what we've got. Now maybe if I'd seen one of these (and had plenty of money) it would be a different story. How many nativity sets do you have? I know people who collect them until their homes are overrun with magi and barnyard animals. This faux-origami porcelain nativity from Gumps is really quite the thing, isn't it? If you have small children and want to have the pieces last until the next year you may want this wooden block nativity. While it's not fancy I kind of like the simplicity. The nativity story dice also listed on the site is quite a nice idea. Then there is this wooden triptych nativity. And a nativity carved from a Tagua nut in Equador. And a stone nativity carved in Kenya. Or a Japanese imperial family. Maybe a nativity made from recycled metal pop can strips from Zibabwe is more your style? Or an African style family from Ghana? I particularly like this wooden nesting set and this Peruvian clay set with it's modern-yet-traditional look. It's rather fascinating how one story can be translated so many ways, using whatever materials are on hand. But my very favorite is the nativity my mother has. It's so simple and I love the way Joseph has his arm around Mary (the two figures are separate) as if it's really a family scene. The picture is hard to see but you'll just have to take my word for it.
