  
The Christmas Story - Willow Tree Nativity Sculpture (style 26173). A dramatic, large Willow Tree sculpture introduced in 2007, The Christmas Story reveals the humanity of Mary and Joseph. The two-piece set of Mary holding baby Jesus, and Joseph are the centerpiece of The Christmas Story. The figures are nearly 15” tall, with richly layered colors.
These figures mark a shift in scale and coloration for Willow Tree. The elegant movement of Mary’s and Joseph’s garments and their beautifully protective gestures bring this composition to the highest levels of sculptural art to adorn homes or churches.
Asked to explain her inspiration behind these pieces, Susan says “The Christmas Story is a story from the past… but the overwhelming emotions of holding a new baby, starting a new family, and wanting to protect them forevermore are present today in every culture and every age. My hope is that the gestures of Mary and Joseph will represent these powerful feelings of love and protection.”
Note: The 24” tall Sanctuary, sold below, serves as the crèche specifically designed for The Christmas Story piece.
