Christmas Music

Christmas is a time for tinsel, cookies, silver bells and…MUSIC. This year we had the chance to go to many wonderful Christmas Concerts; Starting with Andrew’s School Concert which was very festive and displayed holiday music from different perspectives. We also had the chance to attend the Fairview High School concert (this is Ben’s high school) and they always put on an extraordinary holiday concert. This year was a little different (due to a change of directors) but it was still great and Ben was invited (as a choir alumni) to join the choir for two numbers.


I also went to see the Colorado Mormon Chorale  perform their Christmas Favorites in Louisville. They were great with upbeat songs from all around to world to some soft spiritual pieces. They performed a humorous piece, which I had never heard before, with the 12 Days of Christmas (each sung in a different historical time period).

Rachel is a vocal performance teacher and had a recital at the beginning of Christmas that we all went to and got to help at. It was great to hear her students perform and to see their courage and hear their improvements. It was also great, as always, to hear Rachel perform at the end.

Ben and I also participate in our ward Choir and so we got to sing in a beautifully organized and arrange Christmas sacrament meeting. The songs were hard and some of them were very different but it turned out beautiful and the spirit was so strong. There was even a special children’s choir which brought the spirit so strong to our meeting.

I am so grateful for the wonderful holiday music that we have and the opportunity that we have to participate and watch it all around the holiday season.
