Here’s our main one. It’s a mixture of a Hummel set and sheep, shepherds, and cattle from other sets, courtesy of my grandparents.

This is a much smaller and simpler one, only Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, that sits on a table with the Bible next to the front door.

With both sets, we keep the infant Jesus out of the nativity set until Christmas morning.
 
Unfortunately I don’t have photos, nor do I own a device to take and download them. But we actually have three such displays, similar to the top one of yours but a bit smaller. One sits at the entrance to the house, one is in the living room and another in the dining room. We keep little votive candles in front of them so they are lit like a campfire after dark.
 
My late wife used to collect porcelain nativity figurines and would add one or two new ones to the scene each year. I don’t usually set them out the last few years because they are very breakable and the cat I have now won’t leave them alone.

I don’t like my nativity set enough to share it! It was a gift from a friend. I’m still trying to decide on a set to buy for myself.
 
Here is my Nativity Scene…I have this candle that is automatically lit at 5:00AM. That is the time I get up every morning even though I am retired. There is something so serene about the early morning. (Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
 
This is mine! Had it ever since I was a child.

Mine has always been there the whole year through. 😃😃😃
 
We bought ours on a trip to San Francisco about 35 years ago, spending more on it than we should have at that time in our lives. It has a music box that plays Silent Night. One of the figures, the one in red, was added later when our son was little 🙂.

That looks a lot like the one my parents have had since I was small (I’m in my 50s now). They display it year round in the entryway of their home. It’ll probably be passed to me at some point, since I doubt my sister wants it.

Is that the Catholic version of leaving your Christmas lights up all year long?😁
 
The way the figures are in a circular arrangement instead of straight across.

I’m another year rounder
 
“There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus?

A quote from the movie,
Love Actually
 . It’s on my Christmas movie rotation.
 
Ok…I placed them that way…everyone wants to be close to Jesus!
