The Mesa Temple Christmas Lights

The Mesa Arizona temple Christmas lights were beautiful.  We went with friends this weekend and surprisingly I was the only one who had never been before. It reminded me of the Christmas lights on temple square in Salt Lake.  They had a life size nativity around the grounds that told the story of Christ's birth.  They also had a concert playing Christmas music while we were walking around and nativities from around the world displayed in the visitors center.  They say about one million visitors come through each year and I would believe it.  It was crowded!  It was hard to truly appreciate the beauty and true spirit of Christmas when running into people, weaving your way through the crowds and trying not to get lost from the group.  Next year we may try going during the week.
