S'more Nativity
December 2016 |
On the first Saturday of December, my friend Sue and I attended a Nativity Walk at the local LDS church. The church has hosted the holiday event for several years, but this was my first visit. I will definitely go again.
The nativity sets were on loan from church members and included traditional, foreign, miniature, and whimsical displays.
Today, I'll share some of the more whimsical ones; the more traditional ones will be shared as Christmas nears.
 |
| Rubber Duck Nativity |
I have no idea how many nativities were on display, but it was clearly in the 100s and must have taken days and a lot of organization to prepare for the event.
 |
| Moose Nativity |
The event was open for three days. Live music from many local artists was presented during the entire time the display was open.
 |
| Snowman Nativity |
 |
| Charlie Brown and friends Nativity |
 |
wooden spoons and a wood-burned nativity
|
 |
Bear Nativity
(note the sheep skins on two bears) |
I loved that the children attending the event were given a sheet of paper with images of specific pieces from the many nativities on display. That paper was a scavenger hunt to engage the little ones in the event.
Those are very cute. I've seen the Charlie Brown version before but the rest were new to me. I actually set up my nativity scene this year. I need to post a picture of it of these days.
ReplyDeleteOh my those are so cute....the bears are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThose are so so cute!! The s'more one is a great alternative for gingerbread houses...just for a change.
ReplyDeleteReally cute! It would be fun to see them in real.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! And so clever. Love the bears in sheep skins and the moose are so cute.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I love the Charlie Brown Nativity but my favorite is the S'mores Nativity.
ReplyDeleteLot's of imagination used in these nativities. I would imagine that the children especially, would be captivated.

Amazing. What a great event. I have a nice collection of those rubber ducks but I've never seen the nativity scene. One of my students gave me a duck at almost every gift giving event. Definitely looks/sounds like a well thought out event.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. What a fabulous idea? !!! I love unusual and traditional Nativity sets. I have my mother in laws under the tree now. Love this post. More more!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I bet it was a fun outing! :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I think my favorite is the S'Mores. I have a S'Mores ghost for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteThat Nativity Walk sounds a lot like our Creche Festival here. Glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to have visited the Nativity walk. So many interesting versions. My parents have a carved set that my aunt sent from Germany one or 2 pieces at a time. I don't even know how many pieces they have, but it is rather large. She even sent the manger one year and it is 3' long. It came in a huge wooden crate. The intricate carvings are just beautiful. When my parents built the house, they even had a special area built in in the living room with lights to showcase it during December.
ReplyDeleteI too love that the organizers of this even included the children.
