My flatmate's from Peru and her little figures for the nativity scene by our Christmas tree look just like indigenous people of South America. There's even a llama among the animals watching the baby Jesus in the stable! However, these are not the only animals showing an interest in our manger. Tamba's kittens, Teddi and Tobi, seem intrigued by the tree, the shiny paper and the small figures. We've had to put a rug at the foot of the tree, so that no little shepherds get knocked down and smashed on the floor.
