Christmas in Bethlehem

in #christmas7 years ago (edited)

Ho ho ho! Wishing all fellow Steemians a very Merry Christmas.

Yesterday we decided to take a walk down to Bethlehem to see all the Christmas festivities. I know that there is a Bethlehem in Palestine but the one we visited is in the tiny island of Gozo in the Mediterranean.

So first we visited the guest of honour, mother mary, joseph and baby Jesus with his older brother ???


(Mother Mary telling the older child to be good :D)

Although everyone was pleased to see the beautiful family, we were probably more excited to see the real residents of Bethlehem. I could see all the kids and adults were equally excited by sight of this beautiful foal and his mum :)

Next stop! The goat and the kid. The most horrible thing about this place was the sign telling people not to touch the animals (how could you not touch this beauty)


Then some more farm animals going about their daily routine.

This particular donkey was really not interested in the fans but I managed to charm my way and get this diva to come to me for a nice mugshot.

Then some more farm animals!

I really want to write more about our adventure but I think writing about chickens and churches is really difficult! I will tell the rest of the tale in images :D

Special thanks to my Steemit friend @dwarrilow2002 for encouraging me to start blogging! Please take a few minutes of your time to stop by his blog at @dwarrilow2002. He writes about really interesting and unique topics with a fresh perspective :)

Happy Holidays!

So awesome @lucygarrod hope we can join you guys for a trip to Bethlehem next Christmas!

Yay! That would be awesome :D
Kids would absolutely love it. I must say I was almost like a child myself with all the farm animals around :D
