Three Kings Collection 37 sets Dec 2020


#Christmas #three kings #magi #three wise men. For over 20 years I've been collecting each Christmas a set, or two, of the three magi who are said to have come from the east to find the new wisdom. Many of these sets have been gifts from family and friends. I love seeking wisdom, and so I came to love this theme ever since childhood. (I also have over 3,000 books in my library.) Please enjoy all 37 of the different versions of the three wise men in this video: From native American to Mexican, from silver to wooden, metal, ceramic, china, cloth, plastic, resin, and glass, and from 2 inches to 2 feet tall. I also have a plaque which says, "Three Wise Men? You've Got To Be Kidding," and a mug which says, "Three Wise Women, Now That Makes Sense," and a New Yorker cartoon which shows the three wise men "Regifting." I love bringing them out from the attic before each Christmas and enjoying the many ways all different peoples have sought wisdom and are still doing so. Happy New Year!
