Why? For nearly eight solid years, I have performed there with the Utah Chamber Artists as Fall tip-toes into SLC. The magic &#8220;something&#8221; about the vaulted ceilings, the richly refurbished wall paintings and the miraculous glass, threads something golden and refined with the unparalleled voices of that choir. Truly, an angelic experience. I definitely find myself amused and surprised when I hear people remark that they&#8217;ve lived in SLC for years and never stepped foot into it.

If dark, navy dress socks are the easiest and most non-thinking gift, then <a href=\"http:\/\/www.happysocks.com\/us\/\" target=\"_new\">Happy Socks<\/a>\u00a0are on the opposite pole, where Santa lives. What does that mean for me?
