I'm joining in with Lynn at Happier Than a Pig in the Mud
for a special party where we are celebrating the reason for the season by showing our nativity sets.
This Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus ornament hangs on our big tree in the living room. It is made from corn husks, and was purchased in Santa Fe and given to us many years ago by my parents.
This is part of our Fontanini Nativity. We bought it several years ago because it was so beautiful, plus it was durable. We wanted a set with lots of animals for the grandchildren to arrange, rearrange, and enjoy. We always keep it on a low table for their easy access. Even though they are getting older, they still always move things around when they stop by.
And this special nativity is a Hummel from Germany. On our son's first Christmas 42 years ago, Bob bought Mary and Baby Jesus for my Christmas present. Over the years, he has added pieces along as availability and finances have allowed. The beauty and details are unbelievable as only a Hummel figurine can be. I always get this treasured keepsake out before any other Christmas decoration to set the tone for the special celebration of the birth of our Savior.
May the joy and reason for the season stay with you all year long!
I'll also be joining The Shabby Chic Cottage
for the Christmas Decor party on Dec. 15.

Very pretty. Thanks for sharing.
You have such lovely nativity sets. I really love the Hummel set but your Fontanini set is beautiful too! Love that your family still plays with it too. LOL!
Oh dear I might would leave that Hummel out in a china cabinet all the time! The Italian one is equally gorgeous.
I've only known one other family that has a Hummel set. Now you. What a magnificent treasure. Thank you for sharing your others as well. ♥♫
Beautiful nativity sets. I love the corn husk one. The simplicity of it is fitting.
Beautiful! From the simplest form in corn husks to the intricate details of a Hummel. All are beautiful in his sight. Thank you for sharing both with us.
Your nativities are wonderful...Jesus is the Reason for the Season!!
