Lucky we got to see the first half, because all the traditional, spiritual pieces were first. What an incredible show!! It really feels like Christmas! We got home really late, but were able to sleep in since church was canceled because of the new snow and ice.

Christmas Boston Style
Yesterday we took the day off and headed North to visit the Boston Temple and to see a matinée of the Boston Pops Orchestra's Christmas Pops show. It was great to be at the temple again, and it was beautiful with the snow backdrop.
We had left ourselves a window of an hour to get from the temple to the show, but by the time we got lost a million times (Boston has been nominated the worst city to drive in several times) we were a full 45 minutes late for the show!! We begged at the box office, and they exchanged our tickets to super upgraded tickets for the evening show. We spent our new-found time walking with all the other insane people on Newberry Drive, fighting the freezing weather and huge snowbanks on the corners to hit all the fun shops on the strip. We did dinner at Charley's, where we had the best bread ever . . . we ate 3 loaves!
This time we were early for the show, and it was magnificent. And the seats they gave us were right on the first balcony over the orchestra!

oh, you think because you went to the temple you don't have to go to church for a while huh? Is that how it works. Church should be like football games, you keep on going in rain, sleet, snow, wind....Now we know where your faith lies.
