Christmas in the Park in San Jose by Night

Visiting Christmas in the Park in San Jose at night brings a new experience than the one felt during the day.  The lights twinkle, the air is cold, the season bright, and it's very merry.  Year after year, I, and many others, return to visit a tradition.

He cracked me up because that is how I felt after a few drinks too many....

Let me tell you about the very long letter I deposited that was addressed to The Boyfriend .... I must say that The BF, returning from a trip to Finland, gave me 2 unique gifts that I liked very much.  He is redeemed for the moment.

Lights, trees, festive, a beautiful way to get in the spirit of the holiday.

Time to get in the spirit of the holiday season by visiting Christmas in the Park in San Jose.

Goodness, that's a big tree.  I like things big.

Santa!  We've felt an arctic blast all across the U.S. this week.

Awwww.

Seen on the way home tonight, in my neighborhood, just had to toss him in.  He made me smile.  Happy Holidays.

Los Gatos Lights Up

I have always wanted to do this, so, when Miss. P. suggested we take advantage of the walk through Vasona Park in Los Gatos, to be up close, in the fresh air of a December evening, I was so there.

Immediately, there was the sense of, "It's beginning to look like..." and the sense of awe.

Our cameras only captured a fraction of the beauty.

It's beginning to look a lot like ...

Such joy, such beauty as we walked along the path, taking in the exhibits of light.

This was truly stunning.  We bathed in the light.

Me, happy as a clam.

These photos only capture a fraction of the beauty of the event along with being with a wonderful friend.
