My wife and I would like to buy a small, table top Nativity set. We've looked at some online, but would really prefer to see some up close in a retail setting. Any suggestions?

Were are in the NY metro area.

Thanks!

If you ever visit Germany or Italy, you can buy nice handmade ones. WalMart or Target might have some. You might consider getting an outdoor lighted kind (home depot?Lowes? Walmart?). So many ppl forget about Christ during Christmas.

Where can I get lumber, building materials for outdoor wood tables and benches in general?

:)

Please provide address of the place that does closest to 90005 zip code if you can. Closest one to my home address (which I will not provide) gets best answer.

Answer
Home Depot

...choice wood is cedar....redwood....or pressure treated pine (let p.t. pine dry after the furniture is built, then coat with stain & varnish)
...and IMHO, I coat with spar varnish
...the varnish is marine grade and lasts
...you may prefer to paint bright colors, instead of varnish
...again, IMHO, if painting, use the p.t.pine, paint once the wood dries several days in good sun
...pine costs least, is very durable
...cedar costs more, for bare wood disease resistance
....redwood costs most, and is disease resistant

ONce again, IMHO, why paint over pretty wood grains? like cedar, so varnish over cedar, or prime and paint over pine
...exterior latex is thrifty
