We have many Christmas traditions in our family. One of my favorites is collecting nativity scenes, or creches. We get a new one (or more!) every year to display along with the others in our collection. Because I have so many I decided to cover most of the nativities in two posts (maybe three).
Enjoy the visual feast!

I love the one that your sister-in-law made! I’m impressed! I just got a Little People one so that my kids can actually play with it and I don’t worry about it. It was fun to have a lesson on the real meaning of Christmas this morning with my little boys. Even if they did spend half of it trying to keep Jesus out of the baby’s mouth! 😉
We don’t have many places to display stuff like this (breakable stuff!) but I hope to have more some day. For now, we have our trusty old stuffed animal nativity set!
I LOVE nativities too! and I love my kids to play with them too! I just blogged about it and a friend says she never lets her kids play with them! so I always make sure I have some sturdy ones around. I would love to collect nativites – i have about 3 full sets, and several miniture ones but have a small house.. so dont want to go over board 🙂
They are all so beautiful. I also like having some that aren’t breakable for the children to be able to interact with.
They are all so lovely! I too love nativities but I do not have as many as you.
I love the one you have from Guatamala. I think it would be so neat to collect them from around the world.
I made the glass etched one, but I never know where top put it!
My CD arrived yesterday and I listened to it 10 times! It pretty much played the whole day. I love it. It was a great!!! Great!!!! GREAT!!! Win.
Thank you so much!!!

I love the glass etched one! Beautiful! I need to get some that the kids can play with…
Wish you could be here for our ward’s creche display….
Where did you get your Bethlehem village?????? I’m a nativity collector as well and have never seen anything like that. But I would love to! (:
Thanks,
