Not quite Rockefeller Center...but definately just as beautiful!
The Tree in all it's Splendor! Last night we went to the tree lighting in town. What a magnificent sight....when they counted down from 10 and turned on the lights--how magical....wait...that's not quite what happened. We were running late to the tree lighting (thanks to NJ Transit) and we were 7 minutes late....within those 7 minutes the countdown occurred...the Lights were on and half the town had drank their hot cocoa and ate their munchkins. I did a double take...was I more than 7 minutes late? No it started at 7 and we arrived at 7:07. My watch wasn't broken....had time stood still? Not exactly sure what happened...maybe we'll save this answer for the Twighlight Zone...nonetheless the girls had a good time. I was a bit disappointed because Pauline and Caroline won the tree ornament contest. Their names were called (in those 7 minutes) and they weren't able to collect their prize...we'll get it at a later date. Count all your Christmas Blessing because they too will disappear in 7 minutes and you'll wonder like I did where the time went.
Pauline standing at the tree....notice her winning snowman ornament in the background? It was actually made from recycled straw pumpkins...we called it our RECYCLED HALLOWEEN SNOWMAN.
Caroline did her own recycling too. She recycled a water bottle and made an angel ornament. She too won a prize for her efforts!
And in a blink of an eye...Santa Claus was there to grant our special wishes....(My wish was to recoup those 7 minutes!)
