Holy Land arts and crafts

I received one of those 20 questions, Christmas edition, emails and one of the questions was, Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, I do and it's a funny story.

I have one from the Holy Land. Our Episocpal Church in Louisiana sponsored a craftsman from Bethlehem to come to the United States and sell his woodcarvings. The violence was bad that year and he made most of his money for the year during this time. I saw two really pretty olive wood nativity scenes and when I turned the star on one it played Silent Night. When I got home I wrapped one up for my grandmother and kept the other one. A few days later when I turned the star on mine, it played the theme from the 1970's movie The Bad News Bears. I still laugh when I turn the star.

This will forever be in my list of Christopher Christmas Classics! You might consider sending info to a Hollywood scriptwriter.
