Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

We got to help out with the ward Christmas party this year and it turned out SO awesome. Our theme was Back to Bethlehem and we decorated the gym with tents and tried to make it look like a market place. Under each tent was different food, we had flat bread, roasted chicken, roasted potatoes, hummus, and a few fruits and veggies. At the door you were taxed (a can of food for the local food bank) and then you received a tax return of a little bag of "gold" that you paid for your dinner with. Every one dressed up and we all brought blankets and sat on the floor to eat. It turned out SO cute, we had so much fun helping and got to meet a few new people so it was great. It was also nice to focus the night on Christ and what this season means to us. We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!
