December 15-30
Various Visitors
The month of December is such a special time at the Joseph Smith Birthplace Memorial. The hours are extended from 9:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. and the number of guests increase dramatically. The evening hours are especially interesting because of the diverse groups that come from all around New England.

| They came last year, too. They loved singing Christmas Carols |
Newell Dayley spent some time visiting during the Holidays.
He has written music and is trying to finalize the script for the
1st JSBM Pageant to be performed next July (2015). It will be called: "
Out of Vermont" so he is interviewing people that have been around a long time and know stories from the history and heritage of this location.
Happy Birthday! Joseph Smith
December 23 is a very special date. Of course, it was on this day in 1805 that Joseph Smith Jr. was born right here--at this sacred place! It is only natural that a celebration takes place on this 209th anniversary.
We appreciate the Jim and Tasha Parker family from Nashua, New Hampshire for performing for over 350 people at the
JSBMemorial to help commemorate this event. This family of twelve children is absolutely amazing! Some are serving missions or attending BYU, but there was still plenty of talent to go around. They all play various instruments and sing, as well. It was a wonderful evening!
Merry Christmas
Christmas morning
began at our apartment for breakfast. We start with a breakfast get-together because December 25 is also Sister Osborn's birthday. We also have to have a time before the Visitor Center opens because that requires one couple to be on shift. This year the FM Missionaries (Harmans & Mooneys) took advantage of their time off to go on a little Christmas vacation. That left the three Visitor Center Couples: Osborns, Ogdens, and Petersens.
