How perfect that Cinnamon Roll Day and General Confernce Sunday landed on the very same day! It seemed like everyone on my Facebook feed was sharing photos of their swirls of cinnamon deliciousness and they didn't even know it was the actual holiday. But in Mormon culture, General Confernce is always a reason for celebration. Latter Day Saints believe that because God loves His children, He continues to call prophets and apostles to guide us. Twice a year the church broadcasts counsel from modern prophets and apostles over a weekend. This is called General Confernce. And of course we celebrate! I never feel as happy as when I am becoming closer to God. (I just don't know how cinnamon rolls became the thing. Oh yeah, cuz they're delicious.)

The other great thing about Cinnamon Roll Day is that it left me with an abundance of baked goods. aka an excuse to pop over to the homes of a few people that I love and catch up on their lives. This was the physically and emotionally superior alternative to eating the cinnamon rolls myself. 

As a side note (or bottom note as it more literally is), researching this particular holiday has been a tad challenging because everything seems to be written in Swedish. However, I have discovered that the holiday began when Sweden's Home Baking Council wanted to celebrate Sweden's home baking tradition.
