The Nativity

I wanted to share some photos of a Nativity I made in ceramics in the early 70's before my sons were born. I gave it as a gift to my parents. This year when we cleared out a lot of their things in the "Big Victorian Home" I came across it packed away in the "Christmas Closet".   If you gave it to them, then it was yours to take and I knew mother had no room for this in her new apartment. I believe I used metallic paints.

                                                              There are 18 pieces total

                         Their are 3 large Camels. one sitting and 2 standing tall  (8 high and 10 wide)

                  I set it up under our big screen TV this year, it looks great at night with the lights I've added

Mother had several rocks and quartz that she had collected thru the years, tucked away with the pine cones. I added the evergreen and tinsel tree and hope to find more white cotton to cover this bigger area

We will be attending the Children's Mass tonight, seems some snow is falling once again. Our choir always has the most beautiful music 1/2 hr before. And our church is decorated in Huge Red Poinsettia's and lots of Candle lights. Maybe some pictures to follow. We have a beautiful Nativity set up at the center alter.

Then Oyster stew,  relish  and maybe the Coconut Cream pie I've been passing up.

Wishing you and yours, a Wonderful Christmas.
