Attention!! All who like to celebrate Christmas by looking at Nativities, listen up! Our stake here in Draper puts on a LIVE Nativity every year. It. is. insane. It's all outside and all alive. Even the camels, lamas, and other animals are real. They create buildings and palm trees (out of real palm fronds imported from St. George) and have live actors throughout. You just walk through a mini version of Bethlehem, complete with merchants, animals, fires, etc., until you end up at a stable with a real live 1-month-old baby in a heated manger. I got to help the youth this morning in preparations for this awesome event (we were in charge of harvesting a truck full of cattails for some backdrop), and let me tell you, it is going to be incredible! It only lasts 4 nights, the week of Nov. 30th I think, so plan accordingly. And dress warm because it's all outside and at night, and there are long waiting lines (with bonfires to keep you warm). I can't wait!
Here is an article in the Church News about it:http://www.ldschurchnews.com/articles/46619/Visiting-Nativity.html
(This article is a few years old, and I hear that they're revamping a lot this year. Can't wait to see!)
