The child in Carole really likes the whimsical and fun nativities. When displayed they are put with the toys and nativities that use children.
One Christmas Carole was given this cat nativity by her secret pal. That same Christmas her brother-in-law, Harold, told her he had found a nativity that he was sure she had never seen. It was a duplicate set. Carole had seen both the cat and the dog nativity in the Collections catalog so she was able to trade the second cat nativity for the dog nativity, pictured below.
And then there were the bears...

Snowmen are becoming popular nativity figures.
This is whimsical because it is the only time Carole has seen Mary wearing pants. She and Joseph are "shelf sitters" meaning they sit on the edge of a shelf with their legs dangling. Carole found this set in a dollar store.
