The annual Sacrament Christmas Program is underway. The Primary children
are singing right now — a round that is quite spunky and full of rythm.
They are certainly enthusiastic and actually quite good.

The Ward Choir is also singing and I’m sitting on the stand in the middle
of the bass section. Nina has left on her way to Orem to spend a couple of
days with the grandkids while Heather and Ty are in England. It’s now the
Young Women’s turn to sing. There must be about 30 or more of them. They
also sound great. I sure do like Christmas music.

The Choir is singing two numbers written by Sally Deford, one of
my absolutely favorite people. One of these, A Manger Filled With
Love is next on the program. A very lovely number featuring a flute, a
Sally trademark. We started with her arrangement of O Little Town of
Bethlehem which really does the hymn great justice.

The Bishop is speaking now and we’ll end with Joy to the World. I
love to sing the hymns at Christmas. May the Lord’s choicest blessings be
in your lives this Christmas season!
