I started to, but realized in this house there is no room to put them. I have very few shelves or ledges--not even a mantle over the fireplace. The oldest ones are the best because they have the most memories, I think.

One of the shepherds and a couple of sheep are missing, the hinged lid is falling off, the star is no longer very sparkly, and poor Mary's paint is coming off. I still love this set! I collect nativity sets, but this is by far my favorite.Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-6288554711952256092011-12-18T20:35:02.646-06:002011-12-18T20:35:02.646-06:00Cheryl,

I will never part with it--it's not worth anything to anyone but me, and this is the first year I haven't put it out since Mom and Dad gave it to me. I'm pretty disorganized this year. Thank you so much for your very kind words--I appreciate them! Of course, this was a fun story to write because I remember it so well. I am soooo glad you enjoyed it so much. That anthology had a lot of good stories in it--all seen from a child's POV.Thanks so much for reading--I know you are busy.<br />Hugs,<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-70552775449817360722011-12-18T18:23:57.632-06:002011-12-18T18:23:57.632-06:00This is precious!

No wonder you get so many Chickent Soup stories published--you are a master. This is one of the best pieces I've read in a long, long time. Thank you for sharing it...I will always remember Mary with a steel rod up her back, and the shepherd who had only a stump for an arm, and...all the rest.

I didn't get it out this year, and still keep thinking about going up to the attic and hunting for it. LOL My goal before next Christmas is to get rid of some stuff up there and clean out at least a good part of the attic space so I can find things. I'm so glad you loved this story. I remember those days so clearly. Christmas has always been so special to me. Gary says I'm still "a big ol' 4th grader" when it comes to Christmas morning.
