Preparing Temple Square for Christmas Lights

The work started the last of August to prepare Temple Square for Christmas. Many trees are wrapped with lights, even before their leaves fall. Trees are not lighted two years in a row because it causes problems for the health of the tree.
Notice the electrical circuitry that will light these lanterns.

The pansies and other spring flowers are covered with white protective matureials and festive wreathes are placed around them.


Even the "paper bag" luminarios have electrial circuitry.

Candles have been placed in the reflectiing pool east of the Salt Lake Temple.


Artifical lighted trees and other decorations are placed in some flower gardens.

The area north of the Tabernacle has a life-sized Nativity. The characters are very life-like and wear clothing which moves with the breeze. They have a tape of sheep and other animals running all the time these days and it sounds like one is walking near real animals.

The Elijah Missionary Choir is presenting a 40 minute Christmas Concert at the Assembly Hall on Sunday, December 12, 2010, at 5:30 PM. John and I are pleased to be participating again this year. The public is invited to attend the concert and enjoy Christmas on Temple Square. We would be delighted to see you there.
