5 Favorites: Wooden Nativity Scenes

December 12, 2012

I come from a pretty secular family, but when it comes to Christmas, we embrace traditional holiday decor. Our hand-carved windmill nativity scene, passed down through so many Germanic generations that its origin is no longer known, is a permanent fixture all through December. Here are five of our favorite nativity scenes.

700 modern nativity scene

Above: The 11-piece Modern Nativity Set is made from engraved maple, cherry, and walnut hardwoods and finished with beeswax and jojoba oil; $66 from Little Sapling Toys on Etsy.

700 color nativity set

Above: Designed by Sebastian Bergne, the contemporary Colour Nativity represents each character based on proportion, color, and place in composition; £85 directly from Sebastian Bergne in the UK.

700 wooden block nativity scene simple
