Dear All:
A few years ago I did a few Nativity boxes, and my aunts went crazy about them, so this year I am doing some variations and i will keep you posted.
This year I got some nice boxes from Daiso (available at least in the US, Brazil and Japan) with approximately 14 cm x 10 cm x 3 cm of usable space. The bigger, the easier the cutting. By the way, Mexicans are big on Nativities (Nacimientos), Posadas and Pastorelas.

Posadas, reenactment of the journey of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem by friends, families, a street, or a small community. They start on December 16 and end in Christmas Eve. They include a precession requesting lodging, fireworks, a 7-pointed pinata (yes, started in Mexico representing the seven deadly sins and the blessings coming if you resist them by hiting the pinata), and of course food.

Pastorela, reenacted by a troop of actors (amateur or profesional) the journey of the shepherds to arrive to the nativity and the perils (temptations) they face in their quest.

In English (part one you may find easily the rest)

I’ve been wanting to make one of the nativity scenes listed by Papermau, and this suggestion got me off dead center and busy at my workbench. This creche took about an hour and a half, and, aside from lots of contour cutting, was easy and straightforward.

I did that one for my grandmother once. Your colors came out better, though

Very nice, I will search for additional nativities.
I did some slightly larger nativities, the previous box was 6 cm in diameter, the new is 9 cm. The model is easier to cut.

Papermau has been listing a lot of Nativities lately, as well as many other Christmas models (‘tis the season). As Vermin King noted, the one I made has especially appealing colors.
