The Conclusion of My Blog...Or Not
Writing this blog has been a changing experience. At the beginning of the semester, when I heard that we were supposed to write a blog, I felt unexcited and a little overwhelmed. I have never really kept a journal or wrote about any kind of personal experience, so writing a blog seemed to be a very difficult task. However, now that I have had the experience, I am glad that I have learned how to blog and write about what I am thinking. Keeping this blog has helped me to learn more about myself and what is important to me. It has also made a kind of journal of my first semester of college, which I can look back on in the coming years and see how I've grown. So, while this is the conclusion of my blog for this class, I want to keep writing and developing my blog so that I can continue to develop as a writer and as a person.

What To Do During Christmas Break
For those of my classmates that are staying in Utah for Christmas break, there are lots of things to do to stay in the holiday spirit. The most enjoyable activities are going to see the Lights at Temple Square, seeing the Tabernacle Christmas Concert at Temple Square, and caroling.
The Lights at Temple Square is an amazing event that only happens once a year. The lights are so beautiful, and the atmosphere is filled with the spirit. While seeing the lights, I recommend going into the different Visitor's centers. There is a lot to see and learn and one of the most spiritual experiences is viewing the Christ statue.
The Tabernacle Christmas Concert is one of the exciting and fun experiences you can experience. Every year, the Tabernacle Choir sings carols, recites the Christmas story, and invites a guest singer. All of their concerts are professional and filled with the Spirit. This year, David Archuletta is the guest singer. While going is very enjoyable, tickets are gone quickly, so plan ahead and hope for some luck!
The last activity is the simplest, but is still very fun. Caroling with a group of friends helps bring the Christmas spirit into your heart. It is really cool to see people come out of their homes (or apartments) to listen to the songs. To make caroling even more fun, I recommend having some hot cocoa afterward to warm back up!
These are just a few of the great activities I recommend to everyone who wants to get a little more Christmas into their lives!
