Mark and Sondra Buell are excited to invite you
to The Living Nativity 2026
Are you looking for a different and fun Christmas celebration that brings meaning and joy to your life? The 3B Homestead at Murdock, NE has just the thing for you!
From Thanksgiving to Christmas 2026 a special and uniquely nontraditional Christmas event called The Living Nativity will take place in and around the grand old 1888 working barn at The 3B Homestead in Murdock, NE.
Guests will visit and interact with many stable animals. Through the animals and ag items in the barn they'll hear the beautiful Christmas Story as told from Luke 2. It's educational, inspirational, and fun! The true meaning of why Christmas is celebrated will come shining through!
For your planning, no tickets are needed. It’s a free event. It takes about 1½ hours from beginning to end, depending on how long you linger at the stable stalls to pet the animals and talk to the volunteers. There is beautiful live music, yummy cocoa and a gift shop called The Stable Store.
