Hubby and I went to the village Christmas tree lighting tonight. It isn't a major event like those in larger communities but we really enjoy it. The real estate agents supply hot chocolate with marshmallows and there are plenty of cookies and Tim Horton mini donuts to dunk.
While youngster write their names on the decorations that are hung, everyone else joins in singing various Christmas songs. Hubby and I enjoy singing so this is our favourite part.
Once the switch is flipped and the tree lighted, a few more songs are sung as people drift back to their vehicles or walk back home.
It is a cosy feeling being with friends and neighbours and another of the times when you are glad you live in a rural area. Tomorrow night is the Santa parade so we will once again drive to the village and enjoy another Christmas tradition. Sunday will be tree decorating day at our house.
I have been working on some small sewing projects which will be given as gifts. I will take a photo and post next week.
Hope your holiday plans are under way. Try to not do so many things that you are overwhelmed and don't get to enjoy this precious time. A favourite quilting phrase is : done is better than perfect. This applies to holiday preparations as well.
Blessings,
