Ye Olde English Christmas




We had a Stake Christmas Festival yesterday evening. Very Dickens....Ye Olde English Christmas. Very cool. There was popcorn, candied nuts and hot chocolate. A live nativity with real sheep. Carolers and brass bands. Fire pits that you could congregate around to stay warm. A horse drawn carriage ride. And then, inside, a Christmas concert put on by the Stake Choir. (I opted out of singing in it this year....just too much else going on.) This whole production was headed by a couple in our ward who asked Rebekah to be involved. They dressed her up Dickens style and she meandered around giving out sweet bread and nuts to the revelers. She looked just sweet. The whole things was really impressive. We had a fun, fun evening.

What a fun, different idea than just your regular ward Christmas party. Boy, and Rebekah looks so pretty all dressed up.

How fun. How come Taylorsville wards don't do stuff like that? Are we too old?
