Celebrating the Christmas season with young adults is fun. Christmas sweaters and socks are popular. Abilene has a wonderful light festival. The following pictures was our branch activity at the festival.

The Relief Society put a gingerbread house building activity together. Elder Brown won the prize for the most candy decorating his house. It got so heavy the walls fell in on themselves!

Candy, lights, and music have all been a part of our Christmas celebrating. But "Going Home" brings the greatest joy and happy anticipation to our YSA group as they look forward to traveling home to be with loved ones, or spending Christmas with family here in town. We are reminded how thankful we are for our own children and grandchildren. While we are away this Christmas, we hope our children will find joy in family; siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles. What a glorious plan our Heavenly Father put in place to send his children to live in families.
