Christmas on Temple Square is magical. We love walking across the plaza in the early morning with the lights. The music, Christmas trees, and the festivities make is a blessing to be there. We love working with new missionaries to teach them how to find their own ancestors.
We went with Eliasons to a live nativity sponsored by the Bonneville Stake and First Baptist Church which was remarkable. About 7000 people came.
