Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert

Unbeknownst (perhaps not a word, but fun to use) to us, every year Kelly, my sister-in-law-now-residing-in-North Carolina, puts all of the family's names in for the Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert. It just so happened that this year, our names were selected...Thanks Kelly. We invited Amanda and Dallin to go with us, thus keeping it in the family.

This is the set, is was magnificently done, with candles on the trees. The first number was incredible, complete with dancers (which we saw again later) and great music, definitely a get-your-attention type of song. David Archuleta was the guest this year and to be honest I was a little hesitant as I do not normally enjoy his music. However, to my great surprise, I thought he was a wonderful addition and brought a great spirit into the room. Not too mention the screaming young women.

After the concert traffic was horrific so we quickly toured temple square. It was very busy, but worth it. One of the highlights of the night was the fact that Dallin (Amanda's Date) brought little gift bags to give to the homeless instead of money. Some appreciated them, others not so much, but it was enjoyable watching them be passed out.

We make temple square look good, or at least Hot mama does.

A and D, just being casual.

There was a multitude of people there, this was the line to get in. We (I) was a little concerned about getting in after the previous night ( many with tickets didn't get in), but we experienced no problems whatsoever and in fact, there were a few empty seats when it began.

It was a great experience and would gladly do it again if given the opportunity.
