Hummel Nativity

One of the most desired Christmas decorations is a nativity set, especially one as beautiful as a Hummel Nativity. Adding to a collectible nativity scene has become a Christmas tradition for a lot of families. The thrill and joy of adding a new figurine to their nativity set each year is highly anticipated by most. Children grow up enjoying and appreciating the artistic works of collectibles, such as: Hummel, Jim Shore and Precious Moments.

Franz Goebel, a porcelain manufacturer in Germany, used the drawings of Sister Maria (Maria Innocentia Hummel) a German nun to create figurines that truly capture the innocence of a child. Many people who receive a Hummel figurine for a gift are so overwhelmed by the captivating beauty of these figurines that frequently they become collectibles. Endearing innocence is captured so beautifully in a Berta Hummel nativity set and will certainly stand out among other Christmas decorations.

There are some people who own a Goebel Hummel nativity set and because of its beauty cannot stand the thought of storing it away after the Christmas season ends, so instead of packing it away they it leave out to be enjoyed. Once you have personally seen a Hummel nativity figurine you will understand why they feel this way.

Hummel figurines are definitely considered to be among the most highly sought collectible porcelain creations.  These exquisite figurines often are passed down to children as family heirlooms not just because they are highly collectible, but a deep-rooted love for these charming figurines is often embedded in the hearts of children who grew up enjoying the beauty offered.

Almost anyone who enjoys collectibles, especially figurines, would love receiving a Hummel figurine for a gift.  In fact, a great Christmas gift idea is to give them a Hummel nativity figurine each Christmas for their present.  No doubt, they will look forward with high anticipation each Christmas season of receiving their new addition from you.

The Hummel Children's Nativity three-piece set is a beloved favorite of many.  This set contains the holy family: Jesus, Mary and Joseph.   The figurines do not exceed 4.25 inches, making it easy to fit into almost any home where limited space is a consideration but the desire for a nativity scene exists.  When choosing a location, look for a prominent place for display so it can be fully appreciated.  But at the same time you want to make sure that it is not overly exposed to a lot of traffic, particularly if you have children and pets.   

A great way to shop for a Hummel is definitely online.  However, if you ever get the chance to visit Germany, consider putting on your list a tour of the Hummel factory.  Often we do not have a true appreciation for something until we have actually experienced it.  Seeing firsthand the craftsmanship that goes into the making of a Hummel will be both inspiring and unforgettable.  It will instill within you a deep appreciation for the skills and efforts that went into creating your Hummel nativity scene.
