Love Kim's suggestion that the stern lady in blue is the MIL. Technically, the babe should not appear in the manger until Christmas morning but we would all miss him, so it's well he's already been placed in the pack. I do enjoy your nativity scene each year - such characters!

I remember while living in Japan in the 90s often at this time of year one would find nativity scenes with Joseph, Mary, the baby, the magi, shepherds and of course, snow white and the seven dwarfs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728645243327906117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-60607250505837773522012-12-20T11:23:41.459+01:002012-12-20T11:23:41.459+01:00Long may her delight continue xxLong may her delight continue xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-69569809428487796042012-12-20T11:19:08.464+01:002012-12-20T11:19:08.464+01:00The angels are certainly androgynous.The angels are certainly androgynous.Whispering Wallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03410656699815679312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-254705135801341322012-12-20T10:45:09.369+01:002012-12-20T10:45:09.369+01:00I remember your Christmas crib well and I still th...I remember your Christmas crib well and I still think the stern looking lady in the blue is the mother-in-law! ~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-45057543176591357352012-12-20T10:13:51.511+01:002012-12-20T10:13:51.511+01:00Hurrah!!
