Wonderful Cause | 9:05 p.m. Dec. 1, 2008

I love the Festival of Trees, and it has become one of our greatest family tradtions each year, mainly because my mom is on the executive board, and is one of the Co-Chairs over large trees. It is amazing to see a big, empty building transform in just a few short days to a beatiful hall filled with over 400 trees, along with many other wonderful things. I think this is just a marvelous event, and to top it all off, every penny raised goes the Primary Children's Medical Center. I can't think of many more things that make me feel this good around Christmastime.

This is such a wonderful thing and I look forward to it every year.
