Away in a Manger

Another Christmas memory, the manger we got from my Auntie Stell, my father's sister, around 1956.  A few years later my little sister posed in front of it.  We all had great fun rearranging the figurines, nearly every day.  It fascinated me.  I always loved miniature things.  I sometimes had to rescue a sheep or a Wise Man as little Kathie loved taking them and running around the house with them, giggling all the way.  I have a nativity scene made by the same Italian company, Fontanini, who has been making them since 1908.
