Detail of a Nativity set. A gift to us from a good friend, 20+ years ago. And a part of our Christmas tradition ever since.
Of course, the bible doesn't say they were kings, but Magi. And it doesn't say how many there were. And though they came from "the east", most evidence would suggest Persia (modern day Iran) rather than the orient... Whatever, "We 3 Kings" remains one of my favorite Christmas carols...
Hope you all had a great Christmas!!

Nativity sets sometimes become family heirlooms. We have a small one that belonged to my wife's family. A couple of the pieces have teeth marks on them from curious dogs, but we wouldn't think of replacing it with a newer one.
I'm with John. We bought our set the first year we were married. This january it will be 43 years, so I guess its become an heirloom.
