The Manger that Dad built

Despite cooking like a 'wild' woman in preparation for the first night of Christmas festivities I just had to make this post.  Mum has been wanting her own manger to house a nativity scene in her home at Christmas time for many years.  Finally and very successfully she co-erced my father into building one for her this year and needless to say, as those of you who know SJM would expect, the final product is magnificent...lighting and all.  I thought I would share my mother's joy.
