x-mas

Went to the ward x-mas party this past week.  I would say from an activities committees point of view it was a success in that they didn't run out of food.  Cause really isn't that the only way you can measure the success of an activity, since by their own nature they can only be tedious?  Santa was good, the food was good, and well I can't speak for the program cause I was done by the time they finally got around to that.  What I take issue with is the lack of respect for the church building that people have.  I am ALWAYS shocked at the way people let their children act in church buildings.  I am fine with children running around and yelling in the cultural hall, but that is it.  I am sorry, but it is the only place in these holy buildings that is designated for that kind of behavior.  There should be no running in the halls or classrooms any day of the week.  There should not be any running in the chapel EVER!  There are some families in my ward that should be down right ashamed of themselves for not watching their children and teaching them that that kind of behavior is acceptable.  Kids will be kids....nope, sorry that doesn't fly in the House of The Lord.
