Every year the community puts on a live nativity play in our front yard…. well, not ACTUALLY in our front yard. But very, very close to our front yard – seeing that our "yard" or dirt is seperated from the community park by a fence.

In addition to the live nativity, the whole community goes on a hay ride through the area. This year we had four long hay trailers filled with people (compared to the two we usually have).[@more@]

About twenty minutes before the hay ride was to start, it begain to snow. Huge, white flakes of all shapes. It made the hay ride perfect!  (if not a bit cold…)

After the hay ride and nativity, we all gathered at the local syringa hall for coffee, hot chocolate and cookies (lots of cookies). 

The sad part was when they (the infinate they) made ALL the guys get on stage and act out the Twelve Days After Christmas. If you have never heard the song…lets just say that "true love" didn't work quite work out.. Yet, it was pretty funny!!
