A nearby Stake puts on a great production of The Nativity and we went to see it for one if it's few precious nights. It is always so well done. There are beautiful narrations, music and lighting, angels up high that appear from no where who sing and make me cry, ...the set was really cool complete with live animals AND the best part is? It's under an hour. We bundled up the kids and went on a beautiful, calm evening. Isn't it amazing how something like this can create such a beautiful spirit? It was a great prelude to the season.We had some friends in the show and, as an interesting side note, my friend Katherine was Mary. They took professional photos from the evening for the cast members and I loved this one of Kath +her husband (and a baby from a family in our ward. See? We're even pals with the wee King). Isn't it beautiful? This is untouched and from the live performance.
I also loved the music from the Christmas Devotional that our church broadcasts every season. This song is so, so beautiful. I suggest as you sit here online while escaping the world, that you stop you for a moment - click the link to listen - and feel the purpose of this season and bring a peace and calm into your soul. And if you like it, you can download it for free here.
Happy Christmas Eve! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas among family and friends you love and find comfort in all of your blessings!

You were right about this Christmas song. I just clicked on the link you provided and listened to it again, and again, and again. What a beautiful, beautiful song.
Merry Christmas to you!
we went to see this on the final night (when katherine took a little tumble off the donkey ;). it was AMAZING. i was really impressed. katherine is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect mary + i think the whole production was so incredibly classy. and that photo is beautiful.
I love the City lights in the background of the photos, and that pic of Joseph and Mary and is SO beautiful. What a cool thing! Love this song, love the season, love you, love everything, love it.
