We have two manger scenes, or creche, in our home, but this one is my favorite. It reminds me a lot of the one we had in my house when I was growing up, and it was Kevin's from when he was a boy. The kids love plugging in the light bulb to illuminate it each day, and it helps us all to remember the focus for this season. It is also a tiny bit bittersweet, because just a few years ago the figures would be rearranged every time I saw it, but now the kids keep their hands to themselves. I guess the mantra: "Look with your eyes, not with your hands" finally stuck.
