Our ward did A Night in Bethlehem for our Christmas party. It was lovely. I adore the Jesus Christmas celebrations. It brought me back to my childhood when the Cushmans came into the gym with their most recent baby, dressed as Mary Joseph, and Jesus, riding a real live donkey. It was memorable and meaningful. Our kids are still a bit small, but Kolton made his way to the manger and thought himself quite clever to sit in it. He is probably quite close to the age of the baby Jesus when the wise men made it from their travels. I couldn't help but feel what a frightening journey it must of been for the little family as they attempted to evade King Herod. And yet, I'm sure they were not overwhelmed, but rather filled with the peace and joy that all children bring, heightened intensely by this being Christ the Lord; the new born king!
We enjoyed the food, and a beautiful FHE packet with wise men keep sakes. It was a fun filled, spiritual event.
