We were asked to serve as the "Holy Family" for a children's Christmas Eve service at our church. I thought this was quite an honor, but I think it's more likely that there just aren't that many families available with babies that are young enough to pull off an accurate-looking nativity. Of course, our version of the nativity included 2 "holy sheep" that accompanied the family, the younger of which had a little trouble with his ears but overall did a fine job being sheep-like. As the service began our sweet baby fell right to sleep - just as she was supposed to - and we now a wonderful memory of this special Christmas as a very blessed family.
