Mary, Joseph, donkey and a flock of sheep (all knitted!) travel round the village during December, spending each night with a different family. You are free to entertain them in whatever way you like - their accompanying diaries list their adventures from previous years and are always delightful to read, and our Facebook page has additional photos.

The Posada starts off on Sunday 1st December with a family-friendly service in the church at 10am, which raises money for the charity Toybox. It finishes with the Crib Service in church at 4pm on Christmas Eve to which all are invited, whether you have hosted the Posada or not.

If you live in Littleton and would like to take part, please email [email protected], or use the "Get in touch" facility on A Church Near You.
