The Live Nativity


Tim has been in California this week, so we recruited Aunt Sue and Rachel to come with us to the live nativity. I mentioned this in my post about Quinn and the baby Jesus, but this Nativity was really amazing. In most live nativities, you are just watching other people act out the Christmas story. In this nativity, you experience most of it from the eyes of Mary and Joseph. You walk through a traditional marketplace of the time. You walk across fields and get questioned by solders, and then you walk into a barn as a shepherd to meet the baby Jesus. This blew away my expectations. It was really an amazing and very intimate Christmas experience. Plus, free cocoa!
