Living nativity scene in Cherokee County spreads Christmas joy

CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. - A family farm in Cherokee County brought the Christmas story to life with an interactive nativity scene featuring live animals.

Complete with miniature donkeys, sheep, and other live animals, the nativity scene off Reinhardt College Parkway and Fincher Road offered visitors a hands-on Christmas experience. The Bryan Family Farm's goal was to share the true meaning of Christmas and bring joy to families.

"Our goal is to really spread the word of Jesus and what the real meaning of Christmas is," said Sarah Bryan. "We wanted to use our animals to share the joy with the community for Christmas."

In addition to the nativity, children received gift bags and the organizers also handed out gift cards to Chick-fil-A, who was one of their sponsors. The farm hopes to continue spreading holiday cheer through its annual tradition.
