I will try to remember to take one this year. It started with a huge cardboard box for the base, and then more and more to make it look like a hillside village, with stairs of folded cardboard, a church at the top, and the Holy Family in a sort of shelter in the at the bottom of the hill.

It sat on a box about 18" a side and it's about 3ft high (yes, we still have it in the loft!). The stable was at the bottom and there was a church at the top. Thanks for reminding me!

Thank you!<br>I was trying to describe to a friend over lunch the other day my idea of what a 3-sided die would look like. I don't think he got it. Those oblong needlepoint baubles are the exact shape I was thinking of. All I had to do was email him a link to your post. Problem solved!<br>Have a lovely holiday season!<br>Katie. Ah! Thank you!
