Are you looking for a great free Christmas light display to take the family to?

It’s that time of year when everybody starts looking for the most spectacular Christmas light displays to visit. There is one great source for a free Christmas light extravaganza that is right in your own backyard, in most every corner of the world, that you probably didn’t even think to look for. That place is your local MormonTemple.

Salt Lake City Utah, home of the most famous LDS Temple Chirstmas light display.

The Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City Utah is a wonderful place to visit at Christmas time. The lights are truly spectacular.

Christmas lights in Utah are worth a visit.

In Salt Lake City, the MormonTemple has the most wonderful Christmas light excursion you can ever imagine.  Not only are all the trees lit up in resplendent glory, but there are several Nativity displays located on the Temple Square that represent many different areas of the world.  The crisp air is the perfect atmosphere for a Christmas stroll that is about a city block long.  Make sure you bundle up and take your camera!

Is Utah just too far away ?

If the Salt Lake CityUtahTemple is simply to far away to venture to, don’t be discouraged.  There is probably a MormonTemple right in your very own backyard that you can visit with its very own spectacular Christmas light display just waiting for you to visit.

I had no idea that the Mormons decorated their temples so beautifully. The palm trees looked like they had jewelry on, diamonds. Every picture was over the top beautiful!
