It's the most wonderful time of the year, the happ-happiest season of all—and now we are already starting to get a glimpse of it.
Temple Square has already been buzzing lately with people getting the grounds dressed up and ready to shine.
Take a look at some of these photos that show you just how much work—and time—go into getting Temple Square ready for the celebration of our Savior's birth.

Maybe my favorite view of the lights. "Those who have come out of the darkness find that their faith carries them. Faith is not heavy; faith lifts and gives us wings to carry us over hard places." --President James E.
