It is heavy plastic, but looks like the finest art. I mean it. You've never seen plastic so pretty. Anyway. She wanted a Nativity that her children could enjoy, could play with, could reenact. We did. Oh, how we did. When it was my brother's turn to set it up, I would sneak in and changed it just a hair to see how long it would take him to notice. We loved that thing. Still do. In fact, Sloane plays with it now. When I was about 19 I began to think of marriage and children. So began my quest for a plastic Nativity that was beautiful and not fragile. I found it in Fontanini. Since then (that was nearly 20 years ago) Fontanini has become a big name and a bit of a collectors thing. I don't care for that, but I do love my Nativity set. Sloane plays with it the same way I did. And, every Christmas Eve she acts out the Nativity for the family, with more and more elaborate scripts each year. I love it!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the chance to share good memories.Relyn Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389583730002062714noreply@blogger.com
