Went to the Mesa Temple with my neighbour to see the lights and watch an outdoor performance. This time we saw the Greenfield Elementary School Handbell Choir perform. Made up of a couple dozen volunteer grade 5 and 6 students, this group practices two mornings a week before school. They were very good!! As a previous music teacher I could relate to the teach conducting them. (Although I thought the bells would be easier on the ears than recorders!)
The stores are full of Christmas decorations. Some are gorgeous and some very kitschy. I saw a grouping of fake Christmas trees in a variety of colours, even purple, pink it turquoise. Yikes!!
Last night a group of 14 of us went to the Hale Theatre to see a performance of A Christmas Carol. I think it is a yearly event and the theatre company went all out! Sets, costumes and lighting effects like I have never seen before. Wow!! They even had fake snow during the performance as well as outside when we were leaving! The entire area of Gilbert by the theatre was lit up. The water tower was aglow. There was a band playing and horse drawn carriages adorned with Christmas lights were giving people rides. Very festive.
