We are still using up our Utah Pass from last Christmas. We specifically held on to the This is the Place voucher for their Candlelight Christmas. We did this once before Soren was born (or right after he was born??) and Miriam has talked about it ever since. Some things have changed, but the live nativity and the train rides are still there!
Since we didn't send out Christmas cards this year, it was REALLY important to me to get a photo with Father Christmas. With this one photo my Christmas is already great. I don't need anything else.
When they wrote their letters to Santa to burn in the fireplace Soren's letter said "Something good, whatever you think I should get". Alrighty then...
We all signed the naughty list...the coal chocolate is too good to pass up!
The live nativity included the cutest real live baby Jesus...in a real live stinky barn, it was so adorable. The guide asked everyone to be quiet as we walked through and no photos were allowed so it was very serene and lovely.
The kids enjoyed making candles, and the blacksmith demonstration (he was making jingle bells) I loved eating fresh Brighams donuts, we all loved the fresh gingerbread and pepper cookie samples.
It's always cool to look over the valley at all the lights. You can see right into all the hub-bub at Zoo Lights. It's a really cool alternative to Temple Square.
We still need to hit the UMFA, Leonardo, Lion House Pantry, Tracy Aviary, and Museum of Ancient Life to get the full use of our pass. Luckily we have till February but I am already happy with what we have seen, so those activities would be icing on our Utah tour pass.
