My Italain grandmother (Nonna) always made this elaborate nativity in her fireplace. There were mountains, and lakes, and, one year, my uncle even rigged special lighting so it would go from night to day (nighttime even had twinkling stars). I love your ideas of the mice and having it snow. What a wonderful way to involve your children in the nativity story. Thanks, and I just might borrow some of these ideas (if you don't mind!) God bless!Maria (also Bia)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915816897999091636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-53342273452974131982007-12-11T20:10:00.000-06:002007-12-11T20:10:00.000-06:00Maryan ~ Hopefully I'll remember to keep posting p...Maryan ~ Hopefully I'll remember to keep posting pictures! LOL! I get sidetracked sometimes... But, this is all-consuming enough, I expect I'll remember!<BR/><BR/>T-w-H ~ Thank-you. We do have so much fun with it!<BR/><BR/>Leticia ~ No, actually, we're mostly British Isles (smidge German, smidge American Indian), but, it's interesting that you mention the elaborate Nativities are Neopolitan, as I only just stumbled upon this fact recently, muyself! Goodness, they do it up! Gotta love it! Maybe we have a little Italian in us we didn't know about!<BR/><BR/>Hi, Esther! Our Maryland relatives used to mix the Lionel trains in with their Christmases, too. I'm told it's a Maryland thing. I wonder why that is? You don't have East Coast roots, do you?

But somehow we used my Dad's Lionel Train trees, people etc. BTW, I tagged you for a meme on my blog.EC Gefrohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821950576683551325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-90359423138451485892007-12-11T13:07:00.000-06:002007-12-11T13:07:00.000-06:00I LOVE this project, and your family's involvement...I LOVE this project, and your family's involvement in it for all of Advent.Our nativity is puny compared to yours,but it does have a bit of construction involved. I'll be posting it shortly. This is a Nealpolitan custom, is that your ethnic heritage, by any chance?Leticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170455690163831806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-42663629621173997272007-12-11T10:40:00.000-06:002007-12-11T10:40:00.000-06:00That looks fun and beautiful!I think I heard the l...That looks fun and beautiful!<BR/><BR/>I think I heard the legend about the trees and animals before. It sound familiar. But reading it on your blog today it makes me want to build a scene around our nativity so I can make the trees bloom and birds appear for Christmas morning!T with Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870996927675120152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-15428288921880237022007-12-11T08:06:00.000-06:002007-12-11T08:06:00.000-06:00WOW!!
