Mesa AZ Temple Lights
I’m participating in the Advent
Calendar of Christmas Memories. Many thanks to Thomas MacEntee of Geneabloggers.com for hosting this
each year. It’s a lot of fun, and it links the Genealogy/Family History
community each year in such a delightful, celebratory way. The Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories (ACCM) gives you
an opportunity to write about and share your family’s holiday history 24
different ways during 24 days in December! If
you’d like to
share in the fun, go to http://adventcalendar.geneabloggers.com.
This is a great way to record part of your personal
history. You may want to use these prompts with your Personal
Historian 2 software, and you’ll be a step ahead in documenting your
personal history and preserving it for your posterity. I also enjoy scanning
pictures with my Flip-pal mobile scanner.
and storing the pictures in collections with my Heritage Collector
Suite software. Since Christmas is coming, you may want to find these
items under your tree this year.
Here’s TODAY’s topic and my thoughts about it.
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
As a
child, I just accepted the beauty of Christmas lights as being part of a season
of celebration. In my teens, seeing
beautiful lights displayed around our city and neighborhood made my heart come
alive with joy. The lights fascinated me,
and I loved seeing the light emanating all through the city.
When
we lived in Palmdale, CA we did quite a bit of decorating. I especially remember one year when my oldest
daughter formed the shape of a reindeer in lights on our garage. I think it was one of the years in which I
was a single mom. We all enjoyed the
lights. They seemed to spark hope and
happiness. Then, one morning when my
daughter saw that someone had come by, unscrewed lots of bulbs and crashed them
on our driveway, it became a terrible memory for her.
We
did display lights on our home. Most
years, they were white lights.`
In Mesa, AZ, we especially loved the Christmas hundreds of thousands of lights displayed on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Mesa, AZ Temple grounds. The spectacular light display is among our favorite memories.

I hope you will consider documenting your own memories concerning Christmas Lights. Merry Christmas.
