Silent Night
Along with Christmas comes the singing of Christmas songs. I die for Christmas music! One of my favorite Christmas songs is “SILENT NIGHT” I was asked to sing this song the other day. I get emotional every time I sing this song. I find myself thinking about the night Christ was born. Can you imagine how amazing it must have been? Well, things were no different this time. In the first verse I start to lose it, but somehow pulled it together for the rest of the song. Whew!
" Silent night, holy night
Son of God, Love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth "
The best part about the Christmas season, are the fun events leading up to the BIG DAY!
Fun in the Snow
Service
The glow of a Christmas Tree
Santa!
Lights at the Temple
School Christmas Programs
I love it All
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

CHRISTMAS TRADITION
(Yes, Winnter is singing in this picture)
When I look back on my childhood Christmases, it’s not the gifts I remember. It’s all of the memories made with friends and family. I love family traditions. What are some family Christmas traditions you are passing on to your children? Perhaps you have created your own family Traditions? Here are a few of our Christmas traditions. 1: Every Christmas season we load the kids in the car, get hot chocolate, drive around and count all of the nativities we can find. 2: The kids get New Pajamas the day before Christmas left by little elf’s on the front porch. (Aspen the Elf or Nolan the Elf) 3: The kids get reindeer food (Glitter mixed with bird feed) and sprinkle it allover the yard on Christmas Eve. 4: We go and See the lights at Temple Square in Salt Lake City. 5: Santa gives the kids a new Christmas bell every year. (This is to make sure they still believe) 6: We Read the story of Christ Birth on Christmas Eve. 7: Day after Thanksgiving we get out all of the Christmas movies and watch them. 8: Make Gingerbread houses 9: Every Family night for the Month of December we take the kids and do a service project. (This is my Favorite) This year we are taking the kids to a homeless shelter to Meet with kids their own age. These are just a few of the things we love to do. It’s amazing how the Children look forward to each and every tradition.
