Nativity Set URGENT!

[tigerbalm]

Hi, did anyone buy the Nativity set sold by Giant during the Christmas time? they were between 9.90 and 24.00 made from some kind of porcelain/earth-ware.

We smashed it during packing and now my little one is hysterical that baby Jesus and Santa Claus will not come with presents next year.

Please help, if you have this set it will make my little guy very happy! I will pick it up and pay of course.
TIA

So......? I'm dying to know. Did you find your replacement nativity set and save Christmas?

I suppose you could always make one yourself - old shoe boxes and action men are good for this sort of thing & are also less smash-tastic than porcelain. How's that for a top tip?

ha ha, Action Man and Barbie around the manger - I like it!

No, sorry Tigerbalm, I haven't seen then since before Christmas but I'm sure they'll be on sale somewhere next Christmas.

:DThanks for the suggestion Ukoz, I can imagine a really whacky cool nativity set like that. According to the child's age, the figures would be the teen titans, hi--5 cast with Barrnie for donkey or barbie and Ken...

Isn't it the ultimate blasphemy though?

Thanks bigsis, that is now exactly my hope - the decorators in Giant put the christmas kitchy stuff away to make space for red/golden piglets. So somewhere out there must be a big warehouse and next year the nativity sets will come back. I mean exactly the same ones...

I can only hope

"the ultimate blasphemy"?......well, not in my estimation (it's pretty much what used to happen at my primary school, along with sheep made out of cotton wool and other such innovations) but no offence intended

joking lah

Oh!
I'll go recharge the batteries on my irony detector
