For the seventh year the people of Għajnsielem, with a lot of help from the Gozo Ministry and the local council, are organising their Christmas nativity village, close to the ferry landing at Mġarr. They continue to increase the attractions every year, mainly thanks to Franco Ciangura, the ideas man behind it all and current mayor.
The area is a real treat for children but also for adults. The organisers keep increasing the number and variety of animals that children love. The different stands are all very well done, even in their simplicity. It is amazing that such a small village can find so many volunteers to put up such a remarkable attraction, which also includes genuine local produce.
One hopes that the organisers manage to keep the animals as a year-round petting farm, which children would surely enjoy.
