Grand Illumination
Well tonight was the Grand Illumination in Colonial Williamsburg. It started the Christmas season in the colonial times. All the candles are lit in the houses at 6:15 then the fireworks go off at 3 places on Duke of Gloucester street. It is so gorgeous there. I love the decorations made of fruit. There are a few of my favorites on here. Every year my mother and I say we are going to try and make them. Maybe this is the year. We had apple cider & snacks while we waited for the fireworks. Also got to hear the fife & drum corp. It is a great way to get in the Christmas spirit. We actually got there early tonight and set up our chairs and walked around for an hour or so.
