Merry Christmas from Happy Trails and Jenna

I'm back in Rochester spending the holiday season with Jenna at her store.  What an exciting time of year in a store full of Christmas trees, lights and music!

In Jenna's family it's a tradition on Christmas Eve to all get together for dinner and then go out looking at Christmas light displays.  I never knew you could put so many lights in such a small yard, but here are the pictures to prove it!

 

 

There are so many lights in this yard that it's almost too much to take in at once.  In the middle there is a toy train that rides around the train tracks.  There are things dancing, lights blinking and Christmas music playing.  Jenna says she and her family go to see this display every Christmas Eve.

 

On the side of the house is a room full of wooden soldiers of all shapes and sizes.

 

See me at the bottom? I fit right in!

 

Santa and Mrs Claus are there to greet everyone as hundreds of people gather to see the festive displays.

 

See me?

 

 

The snowman and Santa bear are dancing with each other.  Heavens! Another bear dressed as Santa Claus? Such nerve!

 

There is even a sleigh with reindeer flying across the sky:

 

                   

 

So many lights!  We had to walk around several times to see everything and we probably still didn't see it all.

 

The front yard is filled with these giant creatures of all shapes and sizes.  The way they are lined up, it looks like a choir.

After we left this house, we drove to another display.  Those pictures will be coming soon.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Happy Trails

    Dear Santa Bear,

    A belated Very Merry Christmas to you!  My, you DO have an adventurous life!  Viewing those magnificent Christmas lights must have been SO awesome!  And imagine how long it must have taken to set it all up!  And imagine how long it will take to take it all down!  What wonderful people to share their Christmas with all who wish to see it.  It must bring much joy to everyone.

    Now, enjoy the rest of the Twelve Days of Christmas.  You'll have to wait a year until they visit us again

    Happy New Year, Happy!

    Jenna, I didn't realize how much I have missed you and Happy Trails. Loved the Christmas lights and how HT was worked into the pictures.

    Love amd Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    I must of had too much to drink today as I now have tears in my eyes thinking about all of the wonderful people I had met in the CL program and how little we keep in touch after only six months.

    Love and Merry Christmas to all of the XCLs and I hope they are all doing well and are healthy and having fun
