We attended this exhibit Nativities From Around The World, sponsored by our stake for Family Home Evening yesterday and it was truly amazing! It had over 600 nativities and 30 countries represented. The nativities was loaned to the Stake by members and the community. I had a opportunity to be a Hostess and show the people the special nativities. It was also a great missionary opportunity to invite neighbors and friends to this event that they can feel the spirit. I felt truly lucky and in awe as I walked through the exhibits. I was amazed in how different artistes depicted the birth of Christ especially from different countries. I also thought of my friend Karma who collects nativities and realize now why she does. It's truly very special to have a collection of the birth of Christ. It also made me realized that I needed to get a nativity from Puerto Rico to have for my family and maybe share with this exhibit in the future. This exhibit truly showed a celebration of Christ's Birth. It surely to become a tradition for my family to attend it every year.

Wow! How cool is that? What a great idea for Christmas and how nice of everyone to donate their nativities for display! I can totally picture you hosting such an event. They were smart to pick you as a hostess! Like I always say... you are always filled with wonderful energy and such a pleasure to be around and talk to :) I can also imagine your family enjoying the whole activity too! LOL I wonder what a nativity from Samoa would look like? :) <3 Siana
What a neat experience. I love the different nativities too. I actually just bought a Fisher-Price nativity so the kids can play with it and learn the story since my other nativities are breakable.
I got your Christmas card....cute pictures of your family!
What a fun experience to see how the world depicts the birth of the Savior. I bet there were a lot of really neat nativities.
