ANSWER 11th Day Christmas Past

Posted by on Dec 10, 2011 in Christmas of Past 2011 |

On the 11th DAY of Christmas Past, the first Christmas in Salt Lake Valley held a Christmas spirit in camp, and the pioneers worked with no dilly dally.

Christmas 1847 was a Saturday and the pioneers carried on with their daily routine.  Every minute counted.  Later that night a dance was held and the pioneers never had a happier Christmas in seeing all they had to be grateful for.

After reading these accounts, found on yesterday’s question post, did it put your Christmas into perspective and help you see all you have to be grateful for?

Congrats to 11th day drawing winner, Becky Vance, who won an olive wood bell shaped Nativity scene ornament from Israel!
