Today is Christmas Eve!
Our family has been so busy celebrating the holiday, spreading cheer, doing service, participating in fun activities, and loving on our family. This is a picture of our family's Christmas tree that we decorated for our ward/neighborhood Christmas party that was so different but SO awesome this year!
EVERY family in our neighborhood was gifted a wooden tree to decorate in any way they wanted, and this was how we chose to decorate ours!
Every tree was unique and full of love and out of about 120 homes in our ward, we had 110 families participate!!!
It was literally a Christmas miracle.
Our neighborhood streets looked like Halloween night on a warm evening because there were so many people out walking around visiting, and looking at the trees. It FELT like Christmas and I loved it.
We have NEVER had a ward activity where so many people participated!
So what was it about THIS activity that got such a wonderful reaction???
Was it the pandemic year that needed to happen in order for us to reach out to EVERYONE in ways we never have before, that helped us get an outcome that we have never had before???
Whatever it was, we need more of THAT because IT feels like true Christmas spirit!
