    A friend of mine was in charge of putting together her Church's nativity scene this year. She actually found a pretty good deal on a camel but the camel lived far away and the church couldn't afford to get the camel towed to them.

    What I'm wondering is where you rent a camel from. The zoo? Circus? Specialty camel retailers? What do they do for the rest of the year? Surely there can't be a year-long camel demand in Wisconsin...

    I... don't recall a camel in the Bible. Of course, there are two birth stories to choose from, so you'll forgive me if the memory is fuzzy... and that's just in the four Gospels that made the cut, nevermind the many others that are floating about there in the annals of history.

    @ejc.wants.pie.now: In Pasadena, CA there is a huge multi-scene live nativity set-up.


    My family and I drove by years ago, and were delighted to find the goats humping each other, as the people tried their best to hold still in the scene. My classy family and I couldn't stop laughing.
