Advise: Do NOT go to Temple Square to see the lights on the night they are turned on. It was WAY too crowded to see anything but the coat of the person in front of you while inching along the pathways.Yikes. Lesson learned. Nice to see this video, because Temple Square didn't look anything like this to a human being on 25 November!
