Walpole is a town of tradition, and this evening marked the 37th Live Nativity on the Common, right at my front door. I was flattered when the narrator, the son-in-law of the woman who started the live Nativity, said, “Walpole is a town of traditions, and this year marked the 4th Annual production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL by the Walpole Players.” He concluded mentioning we have raised over $13,000 for the food shelves in four years.
The simple, yet touching and elegant live Nativity relates the birth of our Saviour, and I wanted to share with you.

I woke up at 5AM Chrismas morning (was that a sleigh on the roof?) and realized that I did not have the full Nativity picture. Actually, I like the one above more, but here is the completed scene. And, by the way, waking up and looking at my statistics, I now have had over 4,000 views of my “blog.” Thank you.
This is the completed Nativity with the Wise Men
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Absolutely positively beautiful. Such a thoughtful way to start this day.
Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas.

Hi Ray,
Thanks for sharing your pictures of the live nativity! I missed it this year, as I went to St. Luke’s in Chester for mass on Christmas Eve. Maybe next year? Merry Christmas!
Chris
