I love Christmas in this town! There are so many things to take advantage of.
Sunday night our small group went to Franklin to the end of the Dickens of a Christmas celebration. It ia annual affair when they close off the town square, have booths and people dressed in Victorian period costumes roaming around. There was Fagin, two bobbies (policemen), an old woman in a store window tatting, booths featuring sugar plums (very good) roasted almonds and other delights. A very nice petting zoo attracted the children. I have never seen fluffier sheep...It reminded me a lot of the Art Festival at Perini Ranch in Abilene.
I want to go next year on Saturday so I can take advantage of all the things in the stores and booths.
As the evening ended, everyone on the square was given candles and we strode a couple of blocks to the First Methodist Church for a Town Sing. Beautiful church and lovely music. The music minister had the children present sing Away in a Manger--so sweet.
Wednesday our group is going to YES (Youth Encouragement Services) to help with their Christmas store.
And there are two stations in town who are playing continuous Christmas music. I am SOOOOO in the Christmas mood.
Happy preparations.
