Lighting of the Town Christmas Tree


Yesterday was a depressing day. Just couldn't seem to shake the feeling and had decided to stay home from the tree lighting service. Am so thankful Megan talked me into going! What a wonderful time we had. The shop window displays of old fashioned winter wonderland is next Friday night. All the shops will have live people dressed in old fashioned clothes. We will be going back for that for sure. But last night all the shops had beautiful Christmas displays.
We walked up and down main street window shopping and looking at the lights.
The town is built on top of a hill. I tried to take a photo looking down the hill but it didn't come out too well at night
All of main street has beautiful old fashioned street lamps
While we were walking we found the mailbox for Santa's letters
And we even found the jolly ole man himself out and about
What other small town can you find a little waterfall in the middle of town.
Then it was almost time for the tree lighting
I will post all about that along with photos later!

The Day After

Had a nice Thanksgiving. Ate too much, enjoyed the family, took a few pictures I will post later. Saw a few snowflakes but now nothing. Its cold and I love it! Going with Megan's family tonight to Town Square for tree lighting and community Christmas caroling. All of downtown shops have their window displays decorated in winter wonderland theme and are staying open late. They have old fashioned carolers singing up and down the street. After the tree lighting there is free hot cider and cookies. I think it will be a fun family adventure and will take my camera along so I can share with you. Have a great day after and enjoy those blessings!
