Today is Epiphany, the official end of the HOLYday Season. Traditionally today is the day you burn your Christmas tree (among other traditions) and our church decided to make it a church event, an evening of food, fellowship and bonfires. It was a nice way to end the HOLYday Season.
This HOLYday Season we kept to our own traditions as well.
Reading a different Christmas book for all 12 days of Christmas and
...my infamous Christmas Holiday Light Drive. I spent a lot of time planning the stops this year. I chose 12 stops, mapped them all out in Goggle Maps and it assured me it would only be three hours this year (last year it was a little over four hours and that was a bit long).
Our first stop was the Wendell Lights again....
Everything was going exactly as planned we only had one stop left, the stop we always miss because the line is so long but we were determined to see the lights this year and the line didn't look tooo long....
Well... it was a trick! Once we went around the corner and were committed, we realized they had the line serpentining through the parking lot of the elementary and middle school. Once you were in the queue there was literally no way out! So in the end we saw the famous lights checked that off our list and my Three Hour Tour was lengthened to a five hour tour... oops.
We made up for it the next week though with a really groovy sparkler New Year party to ring in the New Year (a few hours early).
