My Christmas present

I picked out an early Christmas present:)

Olivia's school holds a Charity bazaar every fall the weekend of Thanksgiving in America.  I am on the charity link at school so I helped out with setting up the school stores which were open that day and with selling apples to support an orphanage, as well as setting up the gym for the vendors who rented tables at the bazaar.  They have many vendors of all sorts of things.  When I got time to go and see, the first table as you went in the door was a  woman  selling wooden nativity sets and other Christian items.  I have always wanted a wooden nativity and these were absolutely beautiful!  I went to ask the price on the largest one and realized the woman was from our church.  It turns out her family makes these from Camphor wood.  I wanted to share it with you all, I absolutely love it!  I only wish I could get one for every one.

The neatest thing about it is the people are Chinese.  Mary and Joseph have topknots.  Look closely at the angel too.  

Wisemen, Shepherds, sheep, camels, an ox, donkey and three very different trees.  





Love, fondly,sincerely,
