Holiday decorations, borrowed from the rural days of the Old South, provide pictorial greetings from inside and outside many of the Park buildings. Swags and wreaths of cedar, Della Robia wreaths in nut brown tones, green firs festooned with gingerbread figures and cranberries -- the Park reflects the ingenuity and native materials of the Georgia pioneers. For each of the eight nights, December 16 to 23, the staccato echoes of tiny hoofbeats open a living nativity drama. And, a shaft of light pinpoints three figures, a man and woman with a small brown donkey trudging wearily along an ancient path. Staged on two acres of near-barren granite, the pageant re-creates the first Christmas with light, music, costumes, choirs and a cast of 30 young people from nearby churches. From 10 a.m. to 5 daily, the seven major attractions add their holiday activities.
