Again you folks didn’t disappoint! There were so many wonderful, evocative ideas it was difficult to narrow it down. But here is what we settled on.
How Main Street is decorated;
The storefronts are festooned with fresh greenery and red holly berries. The doors sport festive wreaths with holly sprigs liberally included. The Lamp posts are wrapped in red ribbon and topped with big red bows. The shop windows are displaying Christmas themed goods designed to delight and tempt shoppers. There’s a Christmas tree in the town square that has been decorated by the townsfolk with handmade ornaments. And next to is is a wooden nativity.
Our Big Event:
There is a festival on Christmas Eve. It kicks off with a parade in the morning. Then there’s a community luncheon, followed by a children’s program consisting of songs and a nativity play. There are games and gift exchanges throughout the afternoon. That evening there is a Christmas Eve service at the church where the choir puts on a special cantata.
Now let’s see what happens next…
sounds wonderful–I can picture it!
Small towns are wonderful.
