Each year our stake hosts a community even called the Nativity. It is a huge event which takes days & CREWS of people to set up. The entire cultural hall is transformed into a skyline in Bethlehem and members all throughout the stake donate furniture & hundreds of nativity sets from around the world to be displayed. It is open to the public Friday & Saturday.There are musical performances each afternoon & evening ranging from soloist to Jr high & high school orchestra's.
This year was the first that we added a VIP night in which we invited various community heads that we work with throughout the year. To welcome them with proper spirit the Primary Children in the stake ages 8-11 were invited to sing 11 christmas songs for then! We only had 5 weeks to practice as wards, and held only 1 practice as a stake prior to the performance. I was a little worried but it turned out beautiful! I love being the Primary Chorister. It was wonderful to be part of this. The spirit was so strong! They sounded just like angels! I really hope we get to do it again next year!
I regret I did not get any pictures. I was backstage maintaining the boys side of the choir but my friend Jamie got some great pictures and videos. So, if you care to check it out, click on the link below!

Wow! That sounds a little stressful. But kids voices can bring the spirit like no one. Sounds like you are getting your holiday spirit on. I am suppose to be writing my Christmas letter for my cards but wanted to check my blogs first. So, gotta get going! Can't wait to get your card!
Love you
Ronna
