Here's to the start of a New & Wonderful Week Friends!!
The Friday after Thanksgiving is a day my family looks forward to all year.
Not because of the unbelievable crowds & prices on Black Friday,
but for the yearly 1st night lighting of The Festival of Lights in Riverside, California at the historic Mission Inn.
It's an awesome evening of Christmas Magic, filled with music, lights & fireworks!
Did I mention they put up more then 3.5 million lights?
Talk about a nightmare if a bulb burns out! lol
The countdown begins...
10, 9, 8, 7, the crowd is getting excited now...
6, 5, 4, the sound of children screaming with glee is in the background...{oh, sorry that was me}
3, 2, 1, the lights are all turned on simultaneously as a bombardment of fireworks shoot from the roof of the Inn!
Can anyone give me a 'WOOT WOOT'!!!
Urban dictionary definition:
An expression one may utter in complete approval or joy.
Expression of simplistic ecstasy.
An expression of absolute happiness, totally euphoric.
I guess that just about sums it up perfectly!!! ;)
While watching a fireworks extravaganza, surrounded by millions of Christmas lights,
I'm pretty much 6 years old again.
Ooooooooo, ahhhhhhhh...ohhhh, wowww, sooooo coooool!!!
That was the extent of my ability to verbalize, as I was completely mesmerized by this beyond amazing start to the Christmas Season.
Here's wishing you a Magical Beginning to your Holiday Season Friends!!!
XOXO
