Tis The Reason For The Season
Long, long ago, in a far away land, my mother and father labored over a task of love for their children, of which there are 5. How my mother got my dad to work on ceramics, I will never know. But I am so happy he did. This is a true labor of love and something my family treasures. We only see it once a year, but the memories and thoughts and good wishes it brings lasts the whole year.
Thank you, mom and dad.

Oh it is a lovely set. I did a Nativity Set for my Hubby before we were married. I'm sure your folks put lots of love and time into your set. What a great family heirloom. This year Mary, Joseph and the donkey are traveling through our house...(I got the idea from a website that I follow), and our son is loving it! Helps keep us all focused! Merry Christmas to you and yours, and thanks for sharing. ~Becky
ReplyDeleteAw so sweet! Randomly, this reminds me of the entire silicone mold set I purchased for a nativity scene that I made out of soap over a decade ago. I sold the molds for space reasons and have been kicking myself ever since.
ReplyDeleteOh Becky, I love that idea! We have a hard time with the kitties jumping up and knocking stuff over. I think everything is safe.

ReplyDeleteIt seems everytime I try to make room for something, I need it the next week. I could for sure be a hoarder! But a soap Nativity is something I would love, in a nice pine or cinnamon. I made the beeswax ornaments yesterday, scented in pine.

Yes, mom, I have all the pieces. I did have to glue the ox's ear back on today, but he is the only broken one.
How lucky you are to have something made with so much love to be able to pass down from generation to generation, very special indeed! Have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteExcellent fact about the mother and father labored over a task of love for their children,the pictures are just outstanding.

Aroma Beauty, I am blessed with a great family. We may not have had all the money in the world but we had everything we needed and plenty of love and family time.
ReplyDeleteCarl, I do treasure this gift of love. I keep trying on the pictures, they are fun to take.

What a nice post, Michelle. You always write from the heart :) My granddaddy (long deceased) made something simliar as your Dad did, but he carved it out of wood. I remember Mom always setting up her Dads wooden Nativity scene, come Christmas. It was so special and the wood smelled like Christmas to me. I would carefully pick up each carved piece and trace the carving lines with my finger. Never knew my granddad
ReplyDeleteOurs is now set up at the girls house, it's been passed down. And it looks beatiful, just like yours does. We do have an awesome family, don't we? Love you!
