Animals

Ox and donkey in the stable of Bethlehem, sheep all around the manger, camels approaching from far—who wonders that the Christmas tree is crowded by a whole zoo of animals, growling, purring, barking, quacking, miaowing, and crowing that it is a true joy for both ears and eyes. Not to talk about birds' singing and whistling—birds are so numerous that they deserve an own section.

Aside from the animals which are taken out of real life there are also objects of pure imagination like the unicorn and fairy tale figures like the Puss-in-Boots. These are much harder to be found and, accordingly, higher priced.
