Festival of the Nativity

On December 3rd we went to a stake activity called Festival of the Nativities. It was my favorite Christmas activity I have ever been to in my whole life. We got displaced from our ward building for a couple of weekends but it was totally worth it. The stake puts together this community event for all religions, peoples, and neighborhoods. They gathered as many nativities as they could, turned the auxiliary rooms into scenes from the Saviors life, and then had musical performances of different kinds. Some were reverent and some were more Santa like. It was such a great event. So many people came! There were activities were kids, videos of the Saviors life, and I loved that all around the hall there were questions about Christmas and the Savior. The spirits was so strong. I loved how a community came together to celebrate the birth of our Savior.

At one point we lost Kelsey, and when we found her, this is the scene we found. It was perfect and beautiful.
