THE MANGER


This is our manger. Dean made it many many years ago. A few years ago we remodeled it---it used to have a solid roof. I like this more "humble" look. The figures are Fontinini---I have a nice collection. When we lived in Florida they a had a year-round Christmas House, and I started collecting in 1990. I think I'm done, because we need a lot of space to spread it out. Bekah has arranged the Nativity since she was 2 years old, and that has now become our "tradition." This picture is from last year, because Bekah hasn't been over yet to put up it up this year. I'll try and post a picture when it's up. The first few years she did it, she had every figure's back to the viewer because they were ALL looking at the baby Jesus. Isn't that how it should be?
