for 30 to 40 committed/creative members to put on a very professional display of about 450 creches loaned from LDS as well as other community members. The photos do not truly do justice to what the eyes can see, and definitely do not catch the peaceful and reverent atmosphere with wonderful Christmas music playing at all times, either from a CD, from a talented elder on the piano, or from various performers including a superb harp player who brought joy and peace to all who heard her sing and play. This is worth going to for a cost, let alone it’s all free! Dad played the role of one of the magi from the East (someone joked “wise guy” from the East) in a live nativity presentation. Over 2000 visitors came to view the exhibit, many are return “customers”.

Fall is the most wonderful season of the year. It is called autumn in most countries. We call it Fall in North America largely because of falling leaves from the deciduous trees. At this time of the year, especially in the northeastern part of the United States and Canada, the magnificent colors of the season are on display. Thousands of visitors from the world flock to Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont to enjoy the parade of colors mixed with the evergreen trees. We learned that leaves don't "fall" off, they are actually "pushed out" of the tree branches. A special enzyme is formed in early autumn that serves as a knife to dislodge the leaves to allow the tree to get ready for the upcoming snowfall. Bare branches collect less snow, thus they are saved from being broken off too easily. If you want to know some facts about why leaves fall from the trees, please point your mouse to this site.
