4. Experience a Living Nativity/Bethlehem Village.
I love living nativity scenes because they bring the Christmas story to life. For those that are unfamiliar with this, living nativity scenes usually consist of actors dressed up as common people, Roman soldiers, and vendors living during Biblical times. The Bethlehem village brings the culture to life with different townspeople selling food and other goods. Living nativities/Bethlehem villages are usually put on by local churches, and the entry fee is minimal or free. You and your family can walk through the village and experience the bazaar and ultimately end up at a real-life nativity scene depicting the birth of Jesus with people dressed as the part and even the three kings bringing their gifts. It’s truly an amazing experience for all.
