Christmas Tree & Live Nativity



We set out to get our Christmas tree at the tree farm in Alpine - for the 8th year in a row - and sadly it was closed.  We usually go on a Saturday but this year we were late getting our tree so we went during the week.  The kids didn't want to wait so luckily there was another place close by that was open.  We picked it out quickly...we weren't very picky because we knew we would be at the cabin for Christmas anyway. But actually, it ended up to be a near perfect tree for the front room of the rental house. 

They offered free delivery to the house so we went to a local joint to grab some hot chocolate and treats, then to the meeting spot for the live nativity in Alpine.  This is really popular and we have never been since we moved from Mountain Green.  So many people come that now you have to reserve free tickets online because they can only accomodate 2500 people a night.  We were really excited to finally see what the big deal was.  I'm here to tell you it was fantastic!  Live animals, actors, atmosphere, hot cocoa and all.  The best part was the real sleeping baby with Mary and Joseph. 
It was a fun and memorable night.
