A family tradition

When I was a small child my grandparents would take me to the manger display at the Paul Young funeral home. This is no ordinary manger scene. The figures are wax and made by the funeral director. They are eerily lifelike.

I have gone to the manger every year for the last 40 years. When I started dating Tami, I took her and Jessi every year. After I got married we took the kids every year. This year we took Sveta. She wasn't very interested in the manger display, but she loved the sheep, goats and donkeys. She enjoyed feeding the animals handfuls of Cheerios.

This is a fun family tradition 40 years strong. I hope it goes on for many more.
