For this post I have used some antique postcards, Nativity sets, and a few ornaments.
The first nativity I want to show you is one I bought at a sale this Fall. It is a "one of a kind" because it was a school paper mache project that was made in art class years ago. A Pringles can was used for Mary and Joseph. I thought that was cute. Jesus was crafted from some sort of a little box.
Hanging on the wall above the Holy Family is a wreath with three brass snowflake ornaments with white porcelain pieces hanging down that depict scenes of the Christmas Story.
A few early 1900's postcards...
Over on the mantel...
is this sweet vintage porcelain set...
And over at the Christmas tree are a few ornaments, the two Creche's are Hallmark...
and this Hallmark Nativity Set. The vintage angels are paper mache Germany pieces.
My last Nativity is this Hallmark toy that I bought for my kids several years ago.
Thank you so much for visiting today and I do hope you know this wonderful man behind "the Reason for the Season".
FOR TO US A CHILD IS BORN,
TO US A SON IS GIVEN,
AND THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE ON HIS SHOULDERS.
AND HE WILL BE CALLED
WONDERFUL COUNSELOR,
MIGHTY GOD,
EVERLASTING FATHER,
PRINCE OF PEACE.
Isaiah 9:6
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

ReplyDeleteI like the paper mache Nativity scene and of course your post cards.
I think the USA needs to realize He is the Prince of Peace if we only turn to him
Wonderful post, so glad to know there are others who still believe that Jesus is the reason for the season! Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!
