To my family:
I am announcing the launch of a new website containing my collection of Christmas readings and songs.
Star of Wonder, Star of Light
https://baierfam.com
In it are the complete contents of my big "Christmas" ring binder, including:
the readings you remember me sharing at 354 Magee, at countless home teaching visits, in Sacrament talks, and in other settings.
the songs we've sung together at scripture study and other times.
additional material collected during our Texas and Newark periods.
articles from my The Arrow Is Flown blog 2010-2015.
other gems from the last few years, including some pretty nice video content.
The reasons I have put all of this into a website are several:
to save myself the work of lugging that binder around.
to keep my treasured collection from getting lost.
to share these gems with my family and friends in a way that is easily accessible and shareable, and that makes it possible for everyone in our family to have the entire collection.
I hope you will bookmark the site and browse around frequently during the Christmas season. The quotations, messages, stories and videos have been enormously uplifting to me, and of course I hope they will have that effect upon you too.
Most of the bugs are out of the site, but if you run into anything that doesn't seem to work properly, please let me know.
The pages will look best on a tablet or full-size computer screen, but the site uses "fluid" technology so most things are presented reasonably well on cellphone screens too.
Feel free to share it with others.
Merry Christmas with love
from your Dad
