Merry Christmas from San Antonio! It's not too often that it gets this cold down here in South Texas. We didn't last long, but it was fun to bundle up for Family Night and head downtown to see the lights. Here we are in front of the Christmas tree at Main Plaza, home to the San Fernando Cathedral.
It's as beautiful as it is historical. It marks the very center of town. Inside the front left doors are the remains of Davy Crockett and other heroes of the Battle of the Alamo. 
We were among the very few people visiting the usually packed Alamo that night. It was a calm, silent night, and we were mindful of the reminder the Christmas lights provide of the Light of the World. We are so grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ. Our hearts rejoice as we contemplate his humble birth, his incomparable life, and his marvelous Atonement. It is He that gives meaning, not just to Christmas, but to our entire lives. Merry Christmas, indeed."One silent night in Bethlehem, God filled the earth with hope so real, joy so pure, and love so true--our hearts still rejoice today."

Merry Christmas from Michigan. We had 4" of snow on the ground and we're slated to get 6" more. I wish I was in San Antonio. I'd take my wife out for some great Mexican food.
Same here in North Idaho, Texas is sounding pretty good right now. We just got buried under two feet of snow. I've never seen so much snow in the North West.
Merry Christmas from Phoenix! We'll be in Texas (Houston-ish) for Christmas. Yay!
