Michelle's Nativity Set

Picture of the Day for 12/8/2014. I inherited a beautiful nativity set from my mother. It was my all-time favorite Christmas decoration when I was growing up and I looked forward to setting it up each year when I was living at home. I think my mother left it to me since she knew how much I loved and treasured it. I finally cleared away enough boxes so I could reach the nativity set packed away in the dark recesses of my basement. I laughed when I saw the box. My mother made it VERY clear that this was MY nativity set. She put my name on the top of the lid, on the underside of the lid, and on the bottom of the wooden stable. It made me smile. And miss her. No one loved Christmas more than she did.
