I directed the live nativity in New Dundee this year. We made do with dress-ups and bathrobes and pillow-cases. Many of the actors have winter coats on under their costumes, and you can see Mary's hands fisted against the cold. 
There was something quite charming about the rustic setting. We were in a real, modern-day farm shed.
Yes, some of the Wise Men forgot to take off their glasses, and one has black leather gloves on. But the spirit in the room was warm, and many folks loved it just the way it was.
If it was all about perfection, Jesus wouldn't have been born in a stable, would He?
So, enjoy these images, and have a Merry Christmas.
