New Traditions

 

 

Good morning everyone.

Only three days till Christmas

and

I can actually say

I am pretty much ready except for a little

baking.

Mind you, I did not think I would make it

only three days ago.

But,

things came together as they some how do

and we are there.

 

 

Our family had several

Christmas traditions

we had to leave behind when we moved here.

One was a

traditional Victorian Christmas Walk

and the other was

the city park all lit up with

festive Christmas lights and displays.

 

So, we have had to make

new ones here.

And,

one of those is

going to Brookgreen Gardens

to their

Night of 1000 Candles.

 

 

Brookgreen Gardens

is a statuary park that is absolutely

beautiful year round.

But, when they

add all the festive

Christmas lights

it turns into

a magical, mystical land.

 

 

The temperatures dropped here at the beach

so,

we had to bundle up for this

night of walking through the park.

 

 

The statues were absolutely beautiful

all

back lit with lots of little starry lights.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The majestic oaks

were draped with long strands of lights,

making a curtain  of dazzling glitter.

 

 

The tree trunks and branches

were all wrapped

with thousands of lights.

 

 

And,

playful displays of lights

were scattered

throughout the park.

 

 

 

 

What a wonderful new tradition

this has become for us.

Walking through this magical fairy land

with hot cups of cocoa

just enjoying

this time together as a family.

 

Does your family have any traditions?

What are they?
