Reason #49285 to have an icon of the nativity rather than a creche scene with figurines:
Mounted prints of icons are a lot cheaper than Nativity sets!
This year will mark the first Christmas that I am decorating my own place with my own stuff. In addition to putting out an icon of the Nativity, the sentimentalist in me wanted to get a Nativity set. (I was raised with it and I like it so

)
These things are freakin' expensive!!
I mean, I'm not looking for anything fancy, but every set I see is well over $100!!
I'll just stick with my Nativity tryptich icon set, thank you very much! ;D
