An Early Bit of Christmas

   I don't really like to do anything Christmasy until December but we took a trip to Branson, Missouri last week and they are in full Christmas mode. Everything is decorated and lit up and all of the shows are Christmas themed. I have always wanted to see the lights in Silver Dollar City so we went last Thursday. Luckily, the temps were in the low 60's most of the day and only dropped into the 40's in the evening. Even so, we were pretty cold by the time the parade ended.

Silver Dollar City had Christmas lights on all of the buildings and lots of the trees. It was very pretty as night fell. 

               

 

The centerpiece of the display is a huge Christmas tree that plays music and makes different patterns in the lights in time to the music. Here is a short(30 second) video.

                                  
The only downside of our trip is that when I got home I realized that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK.....YIKES!! Time to get into cleaning, cooking and baking mode! Thanks for stopping by.
