Festival of the Nativity

We went to the Festival of the Nativity at the chapel across from the temple. It was wonderful. There was singing in the chapel. We enjoyed the music and struggled to keep a straight face through a couple of the songs. It sure made the evening fun. People brought their nativity sets aquired from all over the world and displayed them. It was a fun evening and made the warm season feel like Christmas. The cultural hall was decorated with a huge tree and there was a live nativity. Below are some of the nativity sets that we found interesting.
A tiny nativity
A corn husk nativity...this was taken for Weston.
A nativity painted on rice. It had to be the smallest one we saw. We also saw a nativity made out of potatoes. They had crafts for the kids and a manger dress up, they also had "Joy to the World" and other church videos playing. The church was beautiful. We didn't stay for the Christmas devotional, but that was later on that evening. Everyone got a cookie as they left. We look forward to going next year and bringing a few friends with us.
