Born in a Manger - Redux

After the disaster (previous post), we put our older, smaller, and less elegant nativity set on top of our fireplace.

This nativity set we've had for decades, although there are a few new onlookers: Two elephants and a horse from India, and a terra cotta soldier from China.

Here it is in context on our Tulikivi soapstone heater.

While we were unpacking ornaments, I opened an Advent Calendar we hadn't used in years. Each of the doors holds an ornament. In the process I found another Nativity set that I didn't even remember we had.

This is a pretty minimalist (and small) set, but since it doesn't take up much space, it was easy to find a place for it ...

... right in the middle of Lon's hedgehog collection.
