There’s a large number of Christmas-y events here in the valley and I like to thing we’ve sampled most of them. Most consist of a small yard of hard-packed snow, simulated snowflakes made of soap, too many people and not enough bathrooms. They do almost always put me in the holiday spirit though which is I suppose all that matters.
This year we decided to try a new sampling: the Care Free Winter Fest. In addition to the usual winter activities, they also offered a light parade and fireworks. Absolutely beautiful. And while there was still a huge crowd and not enough bathrooms, I really enjoyed the small-town feel of Care Free and the general festiveness.
Most of all, I loved how much Elayna loved it. She loved the snow, the lights, the frybread. She loved dancing in the square and looking for Santa. She just loved it – and I suppose that put me in the Christmas spirit more than anything else.
