Biscuits / News Breaking Christmas Tree News

Posted by Marissa Sullivan on Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 12:59 PM

Well, here's the deal: Tallest tree goes to Phoenix, making up for lack of any weather. Heaviest, SF—who cares? Brightest, Salt Lake, powered by Joseph Smith's memory. I'm a little upset that Portland doesn't even make this list... but maybe we'll get on the map now that someone tried to blow ours up (too soon?).

I am incredibly envious that you could mistake Joseph Smith for John Smith.

Marissa is referring to the John Smith who has stayed at the Candlewood Suites Salt Lake City Airport Hotel--with "the missus"--more than 1,300 times so far this year.
