Candle light processional 2005

[Not Afraid]

We were there on Saturday night and this was the first time I had seen Candelight on Main Street.

WOW!

Memories of Christmases past flooded into my head as I got goosebumps from the trumpeter fanfare. I silently sang along with all of the carols and hymns and was brought to tears by Silent Night. It was a thrill to hear and see Dick Van Dyke read the story in his wonderfully familiar and comforting voice.

When I was a child, my church performed a "Drive thru Nativity" every year which I was always involved with. The crowning achievement was to perform the role of one of the "Angels" high atop one of the buildings near the end of the path. I wonder if they still perform this pagent? I might want to take another trip down nostalgia lane.


I'm very glad we were able to make it to the park that evening. It was also great to spend some quality time in the park with some good friends and a new friend. I'm so glad we were able to geel him out.
