I only pull these out once a year at Christmas, so I forgot to mention that I also collect Fontanini Nativity Scene figurines like these
They're like Catholic action figures, I guess.
I pick up a few pieces every year, probably have over 100 now. I also built some landscape dioramas (think model train stuff) to display them and add to that each year, too. Must have got my inspiration from my folks--when I was growing up they had a cool ceramic Nativity scene they bought in Italy. Only a few pieces in the creche, but it was probably my favorite Christmas "decoration." Just keeping the tradition alive for my own kids, who love to tinker with mine...
