In the Christmas Spirit


Recently, we drove down to Carmela's Magical Santa Land in Longview, Texas. It was a great way to celebrate our 48th anniversary.  Oh, how bright the lights were!  


The drive is about a mile long, with a pullover along the way to grab a cup of hot chocolate, take a photo with Santa, and a short walking trail of lights if you please. 


It was just what my dragging spirit needed and I am thankful that there are folks out there who go to these extremes to liven up the holiday for kids of all ages.  She doesn't charge a fee, but does take donations at the end of the ride.  

Can you believe there are over 4 million lights in this drive through park?  WOW!  

I hope you all are having a good week and enjoying the holiday season.

What a wonderful night of driving around to see all the festive bright lights. And hot chocolate made it even more special. A nice way to spend your 48th anniversary. So many wonderful scenes here. Merry Christmas season, Terri.
