Bright Lights

We always enjoy visiting Clifton Mill, especially at this time of year.

Their lights are just so pretty!

I wanted to take you along with us...and look! The snow is just beginning to fall!

Then it was off to The Greene, a local outdoor shopping

 village designed to have the look and feel of a small town.

This is their beautiful tree, set right in the middle of it all...so much to see and do there this time of year. Carriage rides, carolers, live animals, music, hot cider and chocolate and old St. Nick himself.

I hope your week is going well...we are to get our second snow fall tonight. The first was only a wee dusting, this one may amount to more. We will see!

Till then, I am off to attend the women's group's annual Christmas dinner

at our church. It is always a sweet event.

Love and Hugs,

Christmas Enchantment

Near us, just behind the Township recreation center, is a wonderful park. During the warmer months it is filled with families playing ball, picnicing, walking the trails and just enjoying being outdoors. In December this park puts on a very different face! A mile long trail of lights, music, Santa, live reindeer, rides, cookies and hot chocolate. The trail winds around a small lake which is iced over now. The twinkling lights seem to dance across the frozen water. Add some warmer temperatures, a cloudless night and that special magic that only happens near Christmas and you have the makings for some very happy children AND adults!

My sis in law with my nephew, The Boomeister, as I have lovingly dubbed him. He was totally transfixed by the lighted train.

Hmm...a real live Angel?
