Taking my once-a-year opportunity to be a wise man instead of a wise guy again tonight. I first stood in the Trinity nativity scene at Christmas in 1962. With only a few exceptions it has been an annual tradition.

Mostly remember the heated bricks for frozen feet and the wonderful hot chocolate afterwards.

I was there on the coldest Christmas Eve in the history of Rome GA. We went 15 minute shifts.

Michael J. Burton It was the year Frank Craven’s son was born. Frank and Sharon stood as Joseph and Mary the last shift I think... stayed with us to help clean up and put the animals up. Seems like it got to about -2 F that night. We said Merry Christmas and Good Night about 9:30... Sharon delivered a little boy not long after midnight! Mid-eighties maybe?

George Barton
I was in the first year, also a wise man when A. J. Peters was minister, Daughter Joyce still goes to Trinity? She would remember the year.

George Barton hadn’t seen Joyce in 60 years

Trinity’s Nativity has certainly been a great tradition for my family.
