After taking a break (more like boycotting the teenybopper headliner) from last year's MoTab Christmas Concert, it was a thrill to go back this year. It is always a madhouse downtown during the Holidays, but even more so on Christmas Concert weekend. So we made sure to get there plenty early to try and grab a bite before the show.
We first attempted to meet up with Steph and Becky at the Lion House, but it was packed, so we walked over to the City Creek Food Court. Alas, everyone there was out of food. So we decided to take a chance on the Nauvoo Cafe - at least we'd be inside, and out of the smog. And what a fortuitous idea that was - because there was a separate line there for anyone who wanted the pot pie, and it was almost immediate service. So - after a warm and comfy meal of salad and pot pie, we decided to brave the outdoors.
We met up with Steph and Becky, and did the tour of the Temple Square lights, before heading over to the concert.
From there, it was over to the Conference Center to get to our nosebleed seats. There's usually a ban on taking pictures on concert night, so no photo to share. But the Conference Center was completely decked out, as always. And the concert itself was fabulous. The headliners were Nathan Gunn (an opera singer who has found a new fan), and Jane Seymour (who still looks fabulous, despite her shameless plugging of her Open Hearts Collection).
Despite the best efforts of the smog and inversion to make it miserable, it was a totally terrific evening.
