The Christ Child wasn’t really born in winter, but I’m glad
we celebrate His birth at this time. I think we need Christmas music and
Christmas lights more when the days are short, dark and cold. Draper may not be
Utah’s largest or most important city, but we do put on an impressive show at
this time of year. We decorate several trees in our biggest park, but we cover
our huge grandfather willow with over a thousand strands of golden-white
lights. If you don’t mind paying to see the lights, there’s a great array at
Hogle Zoo and an even better one in Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point. You can
enjoy the lights for free at Gardner Village or The Shops at Riverwoods. But
the one display you won’t want to miss this Christmas is Temple Square in downtown
Salt Lake. This is the last time the whole square will be lit until major renovations
are finished in 2024.
