I wanted to buy old mannikins and make all the costumes, etc.<br /><br />James always said, "But where would we store them the rest of the year?"<br /><br />I was the drama director at our church in the 1980s. One year, I asked the pastor if we could have a Live Nativity Scene. He agreed, and a tradition was started that continues, even though I've been at another church for 11 years.Lena Nelson Dooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060055435235263556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584986441435970939.post-87985625310661178352013-12-17T17:03:16.978-08:002013-12-17T17:03:16.978-08:00Thank you for the story, Lena, and Merry Christmas...Thank you for the story, Lena, and Merry Christmas to you and your family. When our children were young, we would have them re-enact the Nativity, on Christmas Eve. Now we carry on the tradition with our grandchildren. THAT is my favorite Christmas gift: seeing our posterity continuing to love and worship the Savior.Darrel Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515362617604903826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584986441435970939.post-83337652673248309152013-12-11T05:58:00.044-08:002013-12-11T05:58:00.044-08:00I so agree with that, Debby.
