I love Christmas lights and driving around seeing houses all decorated for Christmas. When I was a little, everyone (or at least it seemed that everyone) decorated their houses... everywhere we drove, we saw Christmas lights. Not so much anymore. So when I heard that Busch Gardens decorated for Christmas... I was eager to go see it. Maybe it's because this was Parker's 1st Christmas... maybe it's just the romantic side of me... but I wanted this Christmas to be magical.
So on December 30th we went up to Busch Gardens to see Christmas Town... and I'm so glad we did! It was fantastic!
Each country was decorated with a different color. This was Ireland. The snow from the latest snow storm was still on the ground which allowed the lights to reflect off making everything bright and... well... magical. Parker LOVED all the lights! I had him in the Moby Wrap so he was warm and snug and totally captivated by all the new sights.
My mom, Parker and I... well, Parker isn't visible but he's there enjoying his dinner ;)
Italy was decorated in white lights and angels. You can't really tell from the pictures but all the lights on the hillside our Christmas trees. The view was beautiful... and most of the water was frozen which is why the light reflection looks the way it does.
They had Christmas carolers and other performers in each country... but the best part was the music. There was no "Santa Clause Is Coming To Town" or "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer"... it was Christmas Carols. Yes, they actually sang about the real meaning of Christmas... Christ's birth! It was fantastic! By the way, notice the snow. This was 5 days after the snow storm!
Parker's 1st Christmas was more wonderful and magical than I had hoped. We are so blessed and absolutely loving life as a family of 3!
