Dollar Store

When we began collecting nativity, it was easy to find them in the dollar stores. In fact, each year the stores would feature groups of very similar nativities with slight differences between each one. We made it a point to buy one of each in the set. Now it is hard to find even one or two different nativities in the dollar stores much less sets. A lot of times it is hard to remember or know if a single small nativity came from a dollar store. We pick up many small ones at thrift stores and yard sales. No matter where or how we got them, they are all special to us.
Notice the one in the middle does not have an angel

These remind me of Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy


Very subtle differences

Not sure that these are from a dollar store but they fit the genre

Probably dollar store

More than likely dollar store


Little hinged boxes with nativities on top. All of the bases are alike but the tops differ.

All of the scrolls have the same verse:
 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11



These figures were sold separately at the dollar store. When we bought them we di did not notice that Joseph's hands were broken off. The stable did not come from the dollar store
