I put out more of the (never ending) nativity this year than I have before, and I still didn’t have room for it all! I don’t know when this collection is going to end, or if it ever does honestly. I am about to cancel it though since I just don’t have the room (or time!) to put the whole thing out each year. I did finally get three camels for all of the wise men (so they don’t have to ride bulls or elephants – yes there is an elephant in this set!).

I particularly like the priest/friar on at the far right, carrying a bound book, which I guess is the bible. I like to think of him as coming in a time machine from the future to witness Baby Jesus’ birth.

This is the parade of musicians, angels and some townsfolk. I like the Roman soldier at the far right, always a welcomed sight at Jesus’ birth. I guess he’s hunting down Mary and Joseph.

I put mainly townsfolk with food items on this table. It is directly across the room from the cabinet with the manger on top. I put the guy at the front pointing toward the manger as to say “Hey people, we gotta go there!”

  1. Hi Dustin—thanks for the pictures. The Nativity sets are so extensive and beautiful. I’ve never seen so many “people” anywhere. Is this a continuing set or do you just find different pieces and it works together?

    Keep posting pictures—really enjoy them.

  2. The Nativity set is beautiful. It looks very nice how you have it set up. My sister-in-law sets up a long folding table covered with snow blankets to set up her lighted Christmas Village set. She adds one building each year. I’m not sure your entire set would fit on one table. I love the guy pointing, it works!
