Oh my.
I really could not have survived if I had had to stand outside for 5 hours. (That's what it ended up being.) The people working at our church's live nativity site had 1/2-hour or 1-hour slots. My friend, J, and I worked for 5 hours straight. Fortunately, we were able to move inside the town hall theatre building, which was chilly but much, much warmer than outside. So I was thanking God for that blessing!
And our animal person, who was bringing sheep, backed out at the last minute. (She was sick.) I happened to think of Katie's horseback riding teacher and, though I figured it was a long shot, being last minute and all, I asked her if she could come or if she knew of anyone who could come. She did! And she brought 3 alpacas! (What? There might have been alpacas at the manger. You never know! It was Jesus' birth, after all.)
So the holiday walk was a success despite the frigid temperatures. (It's so cold it's painful. I was outside for bits at a time, and it hurt to breathe.)
