Welcome to "The Reason For The Season" Party!

The winner is Mary of Sailing Simply
My sincerest thanks to everyone that participated and left such nice comments:@)

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by! I wanted to give everyone a chance to share their nativity or Holy Family decorations. All are welcome large or small! If you'd like to re-post or re-link a previous post please do! I'm also joining Marty for Table Top Tuesday and Joni for It's A Wonderful Life!

I'm German and do love things that lean toward that heritage. I found this beautiful wooden spinning nativity and enjoy bringing it out every year! Three tiers, the wise men, the Holy Family, and a Shepard. Love the detail and the heat of the candles makes it turn.
Truthfully I've learned to use tea lights, they are not as messy!
One last pic of the Shepard, love the little sheep!

Many years ago I started making a nativity set for Ma in ceramics. I'd add 3-4 pieces a year, there are 12 pieces total. They have the slightest light blue under color and a beautiful mother of pearl over coat. The last year I made them the light blue had been discontinued and it was quite a scramble to find enough to finish the set!
Ma gifted them to me for my birthday this year, they are very special to me and I love them-thanks Ma!
They stand about 9" tall, I haven't found a manger yet, but I have visions of that and a crystal star!

Ok folks, link up and let's have some fun:@)
Join the party for a chance to win an original piece of stained glass!
It's easy to play along!
