We make a Gingerbread Village as a center piece for our table every year. - Mike Archer, Pittsburgh

My Mother bought a Christmas Manger in the 1960’s and collects little animal figurines that we add to each Christmas. She sets up her Manger that now takes up her entire mantel and every year my sisters, nieces, and I give her additional animals to add. Some figurines are ridiculous and don’t fit but we buy her our favorites. There are black cats, hammerhead sharks, meerkats, cows, skunks, opossums, giraffes, crabs, etc. - Kathy Rodo, Meriden
