It’s time to pack up miniature baby Jesus and tuck away the shepherds. Well, almost. At the Dallas Arboretum there’s still time to get your nativity fix before tiny sheep and magi bearing gifts go out of season. Sunday, catch the Arboretum’s Artistry of the Nativity display, an enormous collection of nativity sets from around the world. Broadway actor George Dvorsky has been collecting nativity scenes since his early 20s. After 30 years and a career that took him around the globe, Dvorsky’s collection has grown to include more than 200 nativity scenes, all on display at the Dallas Arboretum until Dec. 31. You can check out more than 200 infant Christs and a flock of ceramic sheep at the Dallas Arboretum daily from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tickets range from $9-15. More information at www.dallasarboretum.org.
