How to re-enact the nativity.

I heard an advertisement for a church that was going to re-enact the Nativity for Christmas this year. I wonder how that went?

Ever been to a birth? Not something you want on the communion table.
It's odd how we've subverted the whole event into kids in bathrobes for costumes and a babydoll in a straw-filled cradle. Much more user-friendly though.
