Christmas in San Diego

Sometimes with all the hustle and bustle of this time of year, it's hard to remember why we are doing all that we are doing. While we haven't had any snow, and the weather is actually once again unseasonably warm, it's still nice to have little moments throughout the day to remind us about Christmas and what we are really celebrating this time of year.

Last night AJ, Keegan and I met some friends at the Temple in order to enjoy the musical performance that they had going on there last night. For the third year in a row the San Diego Temple is having a musical performance of some kind on the temple grounds every night for the month of December (maybe all the temples do this now, who knows...but I think it's really cool). Last night's performance was a bell choir. It was so fun to go and listen to the different Christmas Carols played on bells while sitting with friends and family and drinking hot chocolate. The best was when everyone in the audience sang along to "Away in a Manger".

And while it wasn't quite like the lights display at Temple Square, I think the temple looked beautiful.

So, Merry Christmas from our little family to yours.

Here's hoping that this time of year brings you all that you are wishing and hoping for.
