Not being from Utah I am not privy to all the special events that go on. I was delighted when my sister-in-law told us about an event they hold at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City on the Friday after Christmas. The Grand America is the premier hotel in SLC and feels like something you would find in NYC. They have display cases inside the hotel that represent the way different countries celebrate Christmas. When you enter the hotel you are given a passport that has the names of all the countries represented. Then you are given the way each country says "Merry Christmas." You have to visit all the displays to match up the country with the way they say "Merry Christmas." Along the way you are served THE BEST hot chocolate I have ever had. It seriously felt like i was drinking pure chocolate! Of course the hotel is decorated to the 9's for the holidays with gorgeous tree's and even this hug gingerbread house. At the end, if you have correctly matched all the countries to the languages they give you a cookie. The whole thing is free, which blows my mind. Another reason I am itching to move to Utah. We had a blast and hope to make this a tradition for future Thanksgivings spent in Utah.
