Christmas Time is Here

And boy am I glad! Christmas just makes me happy. It is a season that seems to bring joy, brighten spirits, and spread happiness throughout the land. I don't know what makes these things happen, but I don't mind it one bit. Magic in the air, houses and trees draped with twinkling lights, cups overflowing with hot apple cider, there truly is nothing like it. It only happens once a year; soak in every ounce of the Christmas spirit.

Tonight my family and I piled in the car to look at Christmas lights in Highland Park. OMG. Gorgeous. We first stopped at Starbucks in Highland Park Village and purchased hot drinks to keep us warm. Then, we drove up and down the streets admiring the beautiful homes adorned with lights, wreaths, nativity scenes, and Santa memorabilia. I love the classiness and history of Highland Park. It is the place where my mother grew up, along with her parents and grandparents. I dream of living in this area one day.

Here are some pictures from our evening.













Until next time,
