For Christmas Eve my family gets together and performs the Nativity.
All the children and some of the adults participate. My Dad reads the story from the Bible, and my sister, Annelisa plays the carols we sing. It is a fun tradition, and helps the kids remember the true meaning of Christmas.
My sister Camille, her husband Brad, and their baby Maylie as Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus!
"And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes...
"..and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the Inn." (Luke 2:7)
Angels- Bekah, Brieanna, and Ellie Jo.
"And an angel of the Lord came upon them, and said Fear not, behold I bring you good tidings of great joy..,for unto you is born this day, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." (Luke 2:10-11)
Shepherds- Andalyn, Krys, and Ray, and Sophia the cow.
"The shepherds said one to another, Let us go even unto Bethlehem and see this thing which is come to pass.. and the found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manager"(Luke2:15-16)
Wise men- Weston, Mason, and Brian.
"And there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him." (Matt 2:1-2)
Silent Night, Holy Night!
