Among some of the best sights of the Christmas season is the "Tree of Life" in nearby Draper. A few years ago, the city of Draper and/or some of its wealthy citizens of that part of the Salt Lake valley, or something, dressed up a large tree in one of the city parks with a large number of lights so that it would closely resemble the Tree of Life in more than one artist's rendering of the Tree of Life in Lehi's dream, as recounted in the book of 1 Nephi in the Book of Mormon.
Are you still with me here? If you're LDS and you're reading this, chances are you know what I am talking about; if you're not, it's still worth seeing.
At any rate, for Jew and Gentile alike, it is a view not to be missed up close (at least until the ACLU finds out it's on city property and sues Draper City to have it all shut down), and JB and I enjoyed spending part of our evening there last Friday night.
