It&#8217;s a COLD walk out to see them, but well worth the red nose and chilly fingers.<\/p>\n<p>When you arrive on Sunday, look for the Santa hats&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; Dale Meitzler will meet you in one terminal and Maureen MacDonald will greet you in the other one. If you arrive before Sunday, bummer, but call for the hotel shuttle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And do remember that the Plaza Hotel is\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">not listed<\/span> on that board-of-hotels-with-free-telephones. \u00a0You must call 801-521-0130 yourself to request the shuttle.\u00a0<\/strong>Not on Sunday, however.<\/p>\n<p>What to do on Sunday if you arrive early in the day, or if you arrive before Sunday? Not too much. If you&#8217;re here by 8:30am on Sunday, you can attend the free broadcast of\u00a0<em>Music and the Spoken Word<\/em>, the weekly live radio broadcast from Temple Square. That Sunday it will be in the Conference Center, not the Tabernacle.<\/p>\n<p>The Church History Museum will be open and usually they have a terrific display of nativity sets made from different media and from different countries in the world. That&#8217;s free too.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is shopping, either three blocks west to the Gateway Mall or right across the street to the new City Creek Mall. (Things there are not free \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>You are always invited to hangout in the tour welcome or hospitality room. We&#8217;ll have snacks and drinks. We&#8217;ll be handing out the tour shirts, name tags and your syllabus.
