This beautiful centerpiece candleholder nativity set was a gift from Teri.
It is beautiful and unique and was her favorite gift to me last year. (Detail pictures follow)
Matthew used the Internet to find this carving from olive wood from the city of Bethlehem.
These ornaments were a 2004 addition from Teri.
Rebekah thought that a nativity scene with the Bible as a base made a statement about Christmas being based on Christ's birth in this 2004 gift.
Katherine is fascinated by globes. So when I opened it in 2004 I was sure it was from her.
Kimberly made this pillow from a tapestry found in a second hand store. It is a unique way to display the nativity and a 2004 gift.
This set of three wise men is a 2004 gift from Teri.
I bought this set just before Christmas 2003 on sale at Belks. I was attracted by the shepard with the bagpipe. It was one of the purchases that gave Teri and the kids the idea of giving me nativity items for Christmas 2004.
We bought this set because of its real roof of tropical leaves on sale after Christmas 2003 for $5.00. It was also a reason for the idea of giving me navitity gifts last year.
This set of minature ornaments were a gift from Teri in 2003.
They are for a small tree I had purchased in 2002. It
is now in my office during the Christmas season.
This nativity set is actually a music box that Teri had as a child.
She has consented to let me include it in my collection.
