My mother made the Nativity set in her ceramics class more than twenty years ago, so it's one of my treasures. I have Magi and camels, too, but I need such a large space to display them all, and by the time Epiphany comes, Christmas is over. Facebook friends suggested placing the Magi and camels elsewhere in the house and slowly moving them closer to the Nativity figures. The figures are breakable, so I'd have to think of places to put the future visitors that would be safe. I broke the fingers off the shepherd with his hand extended, but I mended the break, and I'm grateful the fix has held together for years. One of the camels is sitting down, but I could move him along in his lazy position.
Since churches are having Lessons and Carols services, here is my pre-Christmas carol, a lovely version of "The Wexford Carol" with Yo Yo Ma and Alison Krauss.
