If you have a nativity set, a question.

Squishycheeks* · November 2010

We don't put up a Christmas tree, I could explain, but it's a long religious reason and I doubt anyone cares lol.

Anyway, growing up my family never really celebrated Christmas in the traditional sense, tree, presents, etc., but I'd like to start some traditions with DD and this baby.

I was thinking of setting up a nativity scene with some lights in place of a tree so that the girls can have a way to participate in celebrating Christmas.

If you have a nativity set where did you get it? I've been looking on e-bay and like the willow tree sets, but I haven't decided yet.

My mom just got DS the fisher price nativity set. I will let him play with it, not sure if it will stay in the same place. We dont put up a tree either. Now that we have DS we will be putting up a tree. Just not sure where we will put it...

Right now we just have the Little People Nativity set that my godmother sent E last Christmas. As she gets older we will get a nicer one. I love the Willow Tree set. You could also look in your local bible/Christian book stores. The Mormon store in my area have a really nice one, not sure the brand though.

We've got the Willow Tree set and I LOVE it! I don't have to worry about the set breaking and they look really nice too. I got it as a Christmas gift two years ago so I can't say where I got it. But, I do know that I've seen that set all over the place.

I got mine at a church boutique. I love it. It seems so special. It looks almost like this:

I have Willow Tree & LOVE it. It's beautiful.

But they're not made of wood - they're ceramic-ish, so they can be broken. I wouldn't have the girls hands-on with it for awhile.

I bought Harrison a stuffed nativity set last year. I forget who makes it...I found it at TJ Maxx for $8.00.

My MIL bought me my nativity set from Hallmark. Its not the Willow tree or precious moments set.

My mom and I searched high and low for the "perfect" nativity set last year that would meet all my wants. I was being very picky because I want to have it for a very long time. After searching the internet, religious stores, etc. we ended up getting one at Kirkland's in our local mall. I think you'll just have to really search for what you want.

Part of our tradition with the nativity scene is to "hide" baby Jesus until Christmas Eve (because it's part of the anticipation of waiting for Jesus' arrival). It was important for me to find a scene that the baby comes out of the manger.

DD has the Fisher Price one, and I set that one up in her room. We have a nice ceramic one that used to be DH's grandmother's set. I love the Willow Tree set, my SIL has it. Like pp's have said- the Willow Tree pieces are breakable (we learned the hard way when DD decapitated my mom's 'Grandma' Williow Tree angel- oops). I'm sure you can find some awesome ones on Etsy.
