This is the One Hundred Sheep Nativity. I was ranting to my "adopted" daughter, Bun Thacker, about how all the Nativities never had enough sheep. Shepherds were in the fields, which means there were lots of sheep! And yet, only one or two sheep were ever in any Nativity I'd seen. At Christmas, Bun-Chu gave me new components of a felt Nativity she created. I got the Holy Family first, and then each year, she'd add new things – the wise men, the camels, etc. And as the last component…she made one hundred sheep for my Nativity, including a little black sheep!!
