How they have survived through all these years I'll never know.As we were unpacking Christmas boxes recently, I opened one and found this Nativity that was also from my childhood.
After my Mom passed away they had been packed away and only came to the surface when we moved. I'm thinking this Nativity has to be about 50 years old.When we were first married, I started collecting ornaments with the current year. So there are Norman Rockwell,
Currier and Ives
Hummels
Betsy Clarke
Ferrandie
to name a few. When my children were little we stored the glass ornaments away in the attic, but now they are gracing the Christmas tree in our living room. Such sweet memores.I'm joining Coloradolady's Vintage Thingie Thursday.

Oh you have some wonderful ornaments...family ones are the best. i just love the little caroler in the one, I have never seen any like that before.
It is so special to take out each ornament and remember where they came from...little pieces of our history!
Your tree must be beautiful!! I love that ornament with the little choir figurines.
Treasures! I have a nativity tree and loved seeing the teardrop. I love remembering where my ornaments are from. Special memories.
How GORGEOUS - they just don't make ornaments like that anymore! I too treasure the vintage ones. They hold so many memories!
