Mobile Show me your nativity set

I have had my nativity set for about 12/13 years purchased at botany bay. I want another for the other room and want something special that will last for years and years.

Will add a photo later today

Ours is an olive wood set from Lakeland. I love it. It seemed so expensive at the time, but it comes out year after year and will last forever

Ours was from M&S years ago (at least 10) and at the time felt expensive - I think £40 or £50 but I love it.

We purchased the playmobil nativity set many years ago. As can be seen, there have been a few additions over the passage of time that may not be entirely historically accurate. Perhaps you can spot them?

We’ve had our Nativity for about 29 years.

Boba Fett was put there many many years ago, by our daughter to guard the baby Jesus. It’s now one of our family traditions.

Maybe Disney saw our Nativity scene and got the idea for Mando and The Child

I didn’t know M&S sold nativity sets. This is stunning!

This is virtually the same as my mothers nativity set. Unfortunately the stable got damaged a few years ago so they now reside under the Christmas tree 🎄
