Homemade Nativity
We found this Nativity scene last year at the Eastern Long Island Hospital Thrift Shop. It was missing a few animals, so we went over and bought a bag of farm yard animals from Goldsmith’s toy store. It’s mostly complete, but we’re still on the lookout for a camel, donkey, and ox. If I decide to create something beyond historic, I’ll probably add a few Eastern Long Island type animals – deer, squirrels, sea birds, a racoon. Why not?
The angel came from Brooklyn. The little monkey drummer boy was a Christmas gift from a our next-door neighbors, the Foltinys, when I was about 11 or 12. He bangs away in joyful anticipation of the happy day to come.
My warmest wishes for a happy and blessed Christmas.
