Following last year’s success, this Christmas, the Society ‘Christmas in Xaghra’ is once again offering a unique opportunity to see twelve artistic cribs, static, mechanical and a live one together with a visit to all Christmas exhibitions being put up in Xaghra. This one time cultural tour takes visitors by mini bus round the town and is an occasion not to be missed. The tour is being held on Saturday 26th December 2009. An experienced guide will accompany the group with running commentary in English. First stage will be a visit to Xaghra Basilica beautifully decorated for Christmas. Highlights of the tour will be a representation of the Nativity with Live Crib held in a two hundred year old farmhouse near Nazzarenu Church, and an exhibition of crafts all with a touch of Christmas. A short break during the tour will include the traditional home brewed black coffee (tat-tacci) with the option of genuine Xaghra distilled orange blossom water and village biskuttini all of which are particular Xaghra brands. Transport by mini bus will leave at 17.15 from near the entrance to Ggantija Temples, where parking of private cars is no problem. This tour is tailor made for those wishing to see all that Xaghra can offer for Christmas, in the shortest time possible. Entrance to all places to be visited is free but a small fee of €3.00 to cover transport, guide services and snacks is kindly requested. This will be collected prior to boarding the mini bus. Since the number of persons obviously has to be limited for better enjoyment of guests it is advisable to book early to avoid disappointment. Booking, on a first come first served basis is open through Mr Ivan Attard on 7928 4444, or by e-mail to presepju@hotmail.com
