We have just enjoyed one of the most exciting Christmas events. It was free sing in held at the Energy Solutions arena (formerly the Delta center until the town of Delta just couldn't afford it anymore). They gave us a free hot dog served by an ornery young woman and a Sprite that tasted incredibly like Diet Coke.
It was so amazing to hear all of the people singing carols to our Lord and some carols that just expressed Holiday sentiment. the symphony was phenomenal and with their over sized speakers they were able to dro
wn out most of the missed notes. We managed to make it on to the big Screens and so the whole crowd saw us singing. Afterward we rode the Train back to our car in Sandy city and Beck thought that was one of the greatest things he had ever done. We had been discussing how the recent drop in fuel prices had negated the value of public transit when an older gentleman gave me $20 to spend on Becks Christmas present and that ended the argument because we figured he wouldn't have been able to give it to us on the free way. Lastly someone special has become a master sneak and managed to give us a Twelve days of Christmas gift that is making us feel so happy and full of wonder at the generosity of the season. We wish to add our own fervent wish for all to have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. Hopefuly Beck will learn to not fear the snow but embrace it since his dad is going to make him play in it longer and harder that even his uncle Sam could. Merry Christmas

Thanks, Ben, for posting that. So many nice things have been happening to us this week-we're truly blessed. Oh, also, Ben forgot to mention that when our cute little family got on the Jumbotron his first instinct was to tilt his head down so the 10,000 people in attendance would see his Frazil hat and run out and get themselves one...
Don, I propose that Ben be given a promotion to ad hoc Jumbo-tron Marketing Vise President.
What a cool post, so many things happening! My favorite being the man with the 20 bucks... that's what makes this season so great! And so cool about the 12 days of Christmas, very inspiring. Lots of love to all of you.
If given the job I will do my best to seek out every venue where there is a jumbotron and promote this vice. Michelle did fail top mention that I was wearing my T-shirt that said only buy Frazil in Utah county! It was so much fun and put me in such a holiday spirit that I gave money to the lone piper playing on the corner in not more than his kilt, poor frozen Scot.
