Last night was our ward Christmas Party and we did a Night in Bethlehem. It was pretty neat. We were all supposed to dress like biblical times. We all got tax notices (cans of food that will go to needy families) and we paid our taxes to the centurions and got a bag of 10 gold coins. Then we went into the market place where we paid to buy our dinner. There were different booths set up, like the Dairy Mart, Meat Market, Pita's Inn, Toy Shop, Winery (we had sprite with apple juice), etc. The kids could spend their gold coins on all toys, or food, or a mix, but once your coins were gone, they were gone. Then we went into the gathering place and ate. Then we had our program. It was different, I have never done anything like that. Tyler had a blast buying things. He kept buying his sister necklaces and grapes :) The kids got a special silver rock that they took to the Gift of the Magi booth and got a little sack of goodies because there was no Santa there.

Sounds fun! :) We did this once when I was younger...and I thought it was fun. I love the idea of the booths. Hope you had a great time!
