They may seen to be crudely made but they are still very skilfully done.

GA, thank you for sharing your holiday decor and rituals! I so appreciated learning more about
Fritz Wegner. Makes me want to know what size these original works of art were? They are so incredibly detailed and nuanced. (note the textiles in the Magi depiction…….) I love the duality of the holiday season — I can groove on the ultra-sophisticated window displays on Fifth Avenue, and I can sigh with appreciation to see the wobbly cardboard ornaments made by local children. To me, BOTH are spectacular expressions of the season. I’ve made a lifelong study of notable /rare Neapolitan nativity scenes, and yet I am equally thrilled to unwrap my childhood collection of dime store figures and arrange my heartfelt manager scene here. Your array of glass ornaments reminded me of a childhood holiday tree that was so modest, it was chuckle-worthy…….yet I would not change a strand of tinsel, and am so blessed to tend these holiday memories.
Wishing you all the joys of the Season, and thank you for the joy and optimism you bring.

What a lovely thing to do each Christmas. You’ve highlighted that I haven’t a regular tradition so am promising myself to think of one. Merry Christmas to you and your readers.

Very colourful and illustrative, they bring to life the Christmas story. They may be massed produced but they are quite lovely.
