Funny about the French keyboard, should be fun to read your blogs. <br /><br />I just remembered a nativity scene my mother made while we lived in Papua New Guinea. It was made from blown out eggs. She made them into characters with pens and fabric. They lasted surprisingly long too. <br /><br />We have a ceramic scene which is quite nice looking, nothing special though. We use the Sylvanian stable as it looks quite nice with the light on inside it. A bit of hay and off we go. A wooden one from the Trade Aid shop would be lovely though.Sarah - Red Ginghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11288614075211978697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-65704852731739028462009-10-25T22:08:19.866+01:002009-10-25T22:08:19.866+01:00I remember my mother making us an entire set from ...I remember my mother making us an entire set from card, wool, glitter and felt. We loved it and it was played with all through December year after year. Eventually, when it really got tattered and torn we started replacing some of the figures, I remember my Sindy doll making an appearance as Mary and various dinosaurs taking the place of sheep...we even used a lego man dressed as a pirate when the tiny baby Jesus got lost. <br />I think it got "lost" after that as Mum thought it irreverent, Crikey I'd completely forgotten that memory, thanks for bringing it back.<br />Have a great week, x.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07945469522910940889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-63010190157134975742009-10-25T18:04:19.201+01:002009-10-25T18:04:19.201+01:00Oh I am so glad you are back online again, welcome...Oh I am so glad you are back online again, welcome back!<br /><br />My fondest Christmas memories are of my grandparents setting up their wonderful old nativity scene around the Christmas tree. They were beautiful old figures, the stable had been made, I think by my uncle when he was a young lad, and my grandmother and I would sometimes make more little buildings to extend the scene. I remember the little sheep so well, with their woolly coats. I can still feel them when I think about them, isn't that weird?Lululizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252036505940629329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-19872072634452692192009-10-25T15:31:39.343+01:002009-10-25T15:31:39.343+01:00My mother had a very simple wooden 'creche'...My mother had a very simple wooden 'creche', just a set of figures that we put out every Christmas. they were very much part of Advent for me.Elizabethdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405703727112759947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-42930832134091196642009-10-25T11:16:31.532+01:002009-10-25T11:16:31.532+01:00We don't have a nativitiy scene but I am on th...We don't have a nativitiy scene but I am on the look out for a nice wooden one. They are hard to find! I also thought about making one with the kids but who knows if I will get around to it.

And thank you for hosting this interesting discussion!Michelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013022672253622117noreply@blogger.com
