I was very excited to visit Bethlehem just a week before Christmas. It's a nice city, much closer to Jerusalem than I had expected--20 minutes by bus, perhaps, if you're American and do not get stopped at the wall checkpoint (3 hours if you're Palestinian, of course, but that is another story). It was nice to see all the Christmas decorations, including the Christmas tree and the Christmas countdown at Manger Square. We visited the Church of the Holy Nativity, which was a beautiful, lovely experience.
We also went to Shepard's Field and heard from Sahar Qumseyeh, the Relief Society president of Jerusalem. I am running out of power now, so here are the photos of Jerusalem and Bethlehem:
