Description

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view showing my new design of a creche imbedded among branches of an artificial Christmas tree;

FIG. 2 is a right side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a left side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a top view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a frontal perspective view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a right oriented perspective view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a left oriented perspective view thereof;

FIG. 8 is a front elevational view of detail of the creche portion of the design;

FIG. 9 is a right oriented perspective view of detail of the creche portion of the design;

FIG. 10 is a left oriented perspective view of detail of the creche portion of the design;

FIG. 11 is a right posterior perspective view of detail of a portion of the creche in the design; and,

The creche is not visible in the rear and bottom views of the artificial tree and those views are disclaimed as part of the design.
