Our Cultured Traditions

We've tried different things each year--sometimes we see a play at the Children's Theater, sometimes a musical performance.  Nativity festivals, tree lightings, parties, and movies are our favorites every year.  It's not all high culture, but it's part of what makes our Christmas season.

This year's fun:

The Nativity Festival at our church--hundreds of nativities from all over the world with live music performed each night--it's beautiful and adds a little spiritual celebration to our Christmas each year.

They also have crafts and a dress up area for the kids, which are a big hit each year.

 

 

Is it wrong to put our own neighborhood brunch we host on the list?  I wouldn't call it culture if it weren't for this special man who brings the music each year.  He's actually moved away from the neighborhood, but we wouldn't miss having him and his wife there with us--he makes the party.

 

Still to come:  Rudolph, Christmas Vacation, and It's a Wonderful Life on our movie lists, a couple parties with friends, and driving through "Christmas Town" to see the lights.
