On Saturday I worked in the afternoon at the Festival of Trees here in town. My women’s club was sponsoring the event, as they have for the last 15 years. This was the first time I had worked at it, and I had a great time. I’m a newbie to the club and I still do not know many women well, but over this weekend I have spent a lot of time with one woman and gotten to know her, a little. Her late husband was also a pilot, and we have chatted a bit about that, as well as what brought us to this town. I’m happy to have made a new friend!
Meanwhile, families came to visit us and take their children to see the trees, all decorated by local companies and clubs for our event. It was magical to see their eyes light up when they saw the lights glowing against the Christmas ornaments.
We had some seniors from a local nursing home come by, and several people who came in by themselves, just to enjoy the trees.
Here is a short montage I made from the pictures I took. I hope you enjoy the little peek into the wonders of Christmas in New Hampshire!

It reminded me, of some of the reasons that I love Christmas. The beauty, the love and the miracle of a child as they view a room full of wonderful trees!
What a nice slide show, put me in Christmas mood ! Nice to make new friends ! I had to “replace” some, because they got real old only grandchildren and household interests ! I still am in contact with them of course, but honnestly we don’t have much to say. Most of them don’t even know what a blog is !
Lovely! I will post some of the pictures I took yesterday later on, I have to get to church now. Love YOU, Mel
Beautiful, indeed. And I love the music you selected for the background. hugs, Linda
I agree with Gatina, this really put me in the Christmas spirit! What a fun festival to work at.
christmas is my favourite time of the yr……..I will never understand christmas complacency…..
I loved this…is it easy to put music on vimeo? Our local Junior League sponsors something similar every December. They are fun to see in person. Sounds like you had a busy weekend!
