Last night–Christmas Eve–was spent with family.
We were able to see and hear my brother thanks to Skype.
My daughter and her boyfriend.
My son and his girlfriend.
My parents and my son.
My daughter and her godmother, my aunt.
My husband and I.
Last night we visited a local garden supply store to see the reindeer and light display.
Last night was the last night that Dancer and Vixen would be visiting our community before they had to head back home to the North Pole to go back to work with Santa Christmas Eve.
This was my first time seeing reindeer. The two reindeer on display were both females–a mother and daughter. Usually the female reindeer do not shed their antlers. However, one of the reindeer was without one of her antlers because our climate is warmer than she is used to.
In past years, the light display had been set up outside of the garden supply store. This year, the lights were indoors and interspersed amongst the plants and displays. We really enjoyed walking through the store looking at the lights.
After enjoying the lights, we had a nice supper at a local restaurant and then headed home. What a perfect low stress way to spend an evening enjoying the sights of the season.
