Growing up we all got in the car a week before Christmas and went to Pilot Life Insurance, where a handmade life-size Nativity was set up. Cars lined up for a mile to see this display.
Later it was donated to Greensboro College, who put it out front. Being so old and from Italy they hired a student to guard it. He went to sleep and this other guy came in with an axe and chopped all the figures up into little chunks, rendering it impossible to restore.
At least the inflatable is replaceable, maybe repairable.
