You can see "Anne" and "Diana" caroling in the back at right.

The other was a better shot, but you couldn't see the deer's eyes, so I took this one:

This is the half-wall that divides the living room from the foyer:

This was our nativity set when I was growing up. The figures were bought one and two at a time from the five and ten, Woolworth's and probably Grant's. I remember bins of each figure in Grant's. The camels and one of the sheep (he's lying down next to the shepherd) are actually of rubber:
