Reason for the Season

Part of our holiday festivities included visiting the Nativity Exhibit in Kirtland, Ohio. I loved it because there were more than 600 different scenes from countries worldwide. It was such a neat experience to see the variety of ways people portray this historic event.  Here are a few of our favorites:

Made of Coke cans
Made of newspapers
Made in Guatemala
Made from corn husks

My mom has one like this; made in Italy!

Chris' mom has one like this :) German, of course
Charlie Brown!
Gifts for baby Jesus: gold, frankincense, and myrrh
Nativities everywhere!!
All white
Super tiny!
Simple

This experience was a great reminder of the true "reason for the season," giving us time to reflect on the birth of Jesus Christ. If anyone has a chance to visit Kirtland, I definitely recommend it! It will amaze you.

  1. When I heard about this I was so bummed I wasn't still in Ohio. Glad I could still see it through your pictures!
