Rudolph

Today my ward had its closing social and one of the skits performed was Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer. As they started to sing the song, people in the audience starting doing the echoes like "like a lightbulb", etc. Most of the people sang the same echoes, but in every echo at least one person sang something different. For example, everyone sang "like Columbus" at the end of the song, but I always grew up saying "like George Washington" or "like Frankenstein." I didn't hear anyone drop the Columbus line until I was 18.

Temple Square.

The other night, we went and saw the lights on Temple Square. It was an activity with my ward, and there were a million people there. Well, maybe not a million. But at least two thousand. And as we were snaking our way around the lights I heard countless people say they were there with their ward, and some had come even farther than Provo.

The Lights at Temple Square is a tradition. And a good, cute one.
