The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It seems that when we left on our little jaunt around the intermountain west we were just getting over Halloween - but when we returned, Christmas was upon us. So we are joyously moving forward to fill our home and time with the Spirit of the Season. We actually kicked off the season in Provo at the 35th Annual Adventsingen where I got to sing in German (while M giggled at my pronunciation).
Here is the first sign of the Holiday Spirit - a nice wreath on our front door.
Poinsettias are always a good sign in our home that Christmastime is here.
And then there is the creche display all over the house - so beautiful and a great reminder everywhere we look of the reason for the season.
Here is the tree we acquired the day of our return last Tuesday. So far only the lights are up, but we're working on it . . . . kinda.
And here, for all of you who may not be in a position to experience it first-hand, is a white Christmas . . . snow! Can you guess where this is? (Hint: it is actually to different locations.)
