Can't resist - This is from a devoted nativity collector (part of my
mother/baby fixation)
-

You do know what would have happened if it had been Three Wise Women
[probably Lactnuts] instead of Three Wise Men, don't you?  They would have
asked for directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the
stable, made a casserole and brought practical gifts!  I'm also sure the
Wise Women helped her learn how to BF :-) 3
One of my hand stitched and hand made nativity sets has a little basket of
muslin cloths for swaddling clothes.  Another pix I did a few years ago had
Mary holding a grinning baby.  I changed it by french knotting in a bunch
of curls so you see the back  of His head - he was in a perfect nursing
position! One of my favorites is a scene of figures from Abbey Press in
terracotta, Mary is holding baby in  her lap.

Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
