How can we not get excited about celebrating the true reason for Christmas.

So, when I heard the local town of Euharlee was having a parade of floats, I decided to round up some nativity characters.

It was a God thing how everything came together in such a short amount of time.

I just kept praying, hit yard sales, Habitat for Humanity, Goodwill, and Salvation Army, and came up with all the material, along with some donations from some folks.  Then I hit the dollar store for the “trimmings”.

On Saturday, it rained off and on and we weren’t sure if it would happen, or who would be coming.

I just started making the costumes and ended up with just the right amount for everyone who showed up.

We had a wonderful time (though we did get a little wet), and the newspaper was there and took our pictures which made the front page on Monday (The Daily Tribune News).

I love celebrating the true meaning of Christmas.

Special thanks to Steve and Becky for the Nativity set, tractor and flatbed!!!

(Well, I can’t get the pictures posted)
