A Holiday Stroll

Saturday night we went downtown to Ogden to check out the Christmas village in the park on 25th Street.  It was crazy packed so I didn't get any shots of the individual buildings, but I did get some of the overall lighting.  Each individual cottage was decorated in a theme, and they were all automated, so you could look in the windows and see elves baking, or Mrs. Claus getting a pedicure, or Santa checking his lists.  It was really neat.  It was kind of a bummer that all the snow melted earlier in the week, because then it would have been a real Winter Wonderland instead of just a Holiday Stroll, but it was fun all the same.


Since we were on 25th Street, of course I had to take a picture of Union Station. 


25th Street


The big bear.  We had to walk in the grass to get a picture of this guy.  It was muddy and I wasn't wearing mud boots.  Silly me for thinking we'd be staying on the sidewalk; I had on suede shoes.  Wish me luck cleaning those up!




Train of lights


Wow, look at that!




In front of Santa's cottage.  We didn't go see him, the line was WAY too long.  It was already crowded, and that would have just been a recipe for a meltdown disaster.  (I won't tell you from who.) :)

Taking it all in.




















 
As you can see we saw a lot of cool lights.  The only thing missing besides the snow was some coffee.  It wasn't too cold, but it would have been nice to have a Peppermint Mocha handwarmer. 

We'll have to remember that next time.
