The first family crib
Children grow up and parents are trying to educate them according to tradition and his own education.
The eldest son, Xavier, is already older and my mother helps him make the first crib, the purchase of the most important figures of the Nativity: the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, Baby Jesus, a shepherd boy plays the bagpipes, a harp suonatrice , a lay pastor who looks a little flock.
On a shelf of a small library prepares the cave with a brown paper recovered from a packaging, the father brings a little 'of moss and twigs from the countryside and the crib is made. However, before you put the little boy in the cave, the mother brings the statue to the parish priest for a blessing, and blesses those returning invited to preserve and to recite the prayers carefully when it is placed in the crib.
costume was that all children even those who are married they would spend the holidays with their parents, and even dined together that Christmas grandparents, children and grandchildren, was a beautiful and noisy party. When

to that community, all declared themselves ready to move to "give birth to Jesus," and Uncle Ernest, who was a musician, took his trombone to accompany the carols. The group moved from house to house of his grandfather's grandson.
come here, Mom took the baby Jesus from the top of the dresser, where he had held throughout the Christmas novena illuminated by oil lamps, and entrusted in the hands of his son, and together they walked towards the crib, the other followed them with the candle lit.
Near the crib mom raised the child, who placed Jesus in the cave.
