How Angelic

Last night I spent a wonderful time up at Upper Canada Village. They are having a night time visit to see some beautiful lights all over the premises. Upper Canada Village is located along the St. Lawrence Seaway that borders Cornwall, Ontario and Massena, New York. I usually go during the summer months where you can explore the village and see people living the way they did in 1860. You are free to ask them questions and learn about their different talents and trades of the time.
This year I was invited (along with J&S, C&W, and my mother) by my dear Grandmother to join her in walking around the same village at night and admiring the lights. She even decided to play in the freshly fallen snow a bit. This is her special snow angel.
When we first arrived through the gate we were greeted by some carolers singing wonderfully a cappella. I stayed a little while and gave a nice applaud at the end. Then we saw a huge line for the horse drawn wagon ride so we decided to walk around the village first and maybe the line will die down when we get back.
So then our first little visit was to the town church where for the first time we were allowed to actually enter the church (in the summer you are only able to enter the foyer but today we could sit in the pews if we wanted to). So we went in and there was a gathering of people all singing Christmas carols together and ringing some jingle bells. The ladies had a piano and gave out some song sheets so we even sang along, well most of us did J did not (as usual).
After the church we headed down some of the streets and saw some very nicely decorated lights. We heard jingle bells almost everywhere we went. Finally we realized why when "Grandma almost got run over by a horse". Luckily we got her out of the way in time. I made her hold my hand for a while so that it wouldn't happen again (kind of like a time out). After walking all around we went back to see if the wagon ride was any better than before. Nope in fact it was longer than before and we had a very unhappy little girl waiting in front of us. Luckily for all of us she was on the wagon before us and we didn't have to ride with her. Whew!
Then we took a nice stroll through the gift shop. I picked up two Christmas ornaments they were both made of coloured clay one is in the shape of a Christmas tree and the other is of a stocking. The whole night was a blast even though my toes gave out during the trek. I would definitely do it all again next year. Thank you Grandma.
