Day 26 - Seasonal Fun

I’m thankful for the beginning of the holiday season.  I have so many wonderful Christmastime memories from my childhood and I always look forward to creating happy memories with my kids.  Since I didn’t grow up in the Columbus area, I’m not always sure what to do, but it’s fun find new (at least to us) places and experience the holiday through the kids’ eyes.

We went to Wildlights at the zoo last Tuesday because the weather was mild.  It was so much fun to walk around listening to Christmas music, sip hot cocoa and see the beautiful lights.  Talk about putting us in the mood to r Christmas!  We took a train ride and even saw some reindeer.  We can’t be certain, but one of them may have even been Santa’s.  Evelyn and Mitch called out a few reindeer names and when they yelled “Blitzen”, Evelyn swore one of them looked over at her 😉.  

This evening, the kids and I headed to Olde Worthington for a little Holiday fun.  We ate Christmas cookies and looked at all of the Christmas window displays.  The train display in a jewelry store window was definitely a favorite!  I wanted to stay for the tree lighting in the Village Green, but the kids got antsy so we called it a night.  We did look at some neighborhood Christmas lights on the way home though.  Today was fun and I can’t wait to make even more happy Christmas memories.
