Over the years, Doris Weaver of Painesville Township, Ohio, has created a nativity scene in a big way in her condo, reports columnist Susan Condon Love in the Plain Dealer.
What started with a small fence 75 years ago has become an 800-piece extravaganza of figurines and accessories that takes over her family room each Christmas season.
“I’ve always been in love with nativities,” the 80-year-old Weaver said. “It’s just grown and grown.”
“And grown,” adds her teasing husband, Bill, also 80.
