Just beautiful!<br /><br />I never grew up with any traditions for the holidays, and honestly I don't enjoy them now (too many painful things have happened right at holiday time) and I often wonder if I'm the only weirdo on the planet who grits their teeth to get through them. I'm not a movie person, so I don't watch too many Christmas movies, but I do enjoy the cartoon ones. I did do the whole Sauganash thing in Chicago one year and that was beyond amazing. Those neighborhoods go all out and it's nonstop insanity with people flocking there, so you need a whole lotta patience. There is a great thing they do down by the river here through the woods with light displays, so cars come from everywhere and you drive through the woods with your lights dimmed and the displays are all along the path. We've taken the dogs through there a few times and that's pretty cool. dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-68895106800511590652017-12-07T12:02:01.779-05:002017-12-07T12:02:01.779-05:00My paternal grandparents used to have old cars the...My paternal grandparents used to have old cars they bought from a museum. But not sure which one. They had them just for fun and drove them in parades and to reunions, etc. I do not remember them. But Family has talked about it.

And it probably was not at Christmas time. <br /><br />We took my nephew to the Car museum part a few years ago. (Well actually maybe it has been as much as ten years ago because my youngest was in grade school then and she is now on college.) We all enjoyed it. It was very hot that day. So we stayed in the museum with the ac.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-89611539410246872762017-12-07T09:16:12.372-05:002017-12-07T09:16:12.372-05:00You find such neat places to visit.

Not so much booking travel but what to do and see and eat while there. fizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372580403185369809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-65121658738338160952017-12-07T08:50:04.984-05:002017-12-07T08:50:04.984-05:00That looks amazing.

I went to prom in a restored Model A so I have a soft spot for old Fords.<br /><br />We don't have anything like that here. I'm kind of close to Bent's Fort https://www.nps.gov/beol/index.htm and they had an old fashioned Christmas thing last Saturday, but I didn't know about in until Sunday. I'm going to try to make it next year.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-13711237024296649092017-12-07T07:45:51.102-05:002017-12-07T07:45:51.102-05:00I am glad we got the chance to experience that, bu...I am glad we got the chance to experience that, but I agree it would make more sense to go to it during a normal day where you can see more of it because the time you get on the holiday nights is very limited. I am very surprised that there aren't all kinds of accidents with those model T's. They zoom around the block there while people continually cross the street in front of them and, like you said, their horn doesn't necessarily sound like most horns we have today, so you have to be alert in that particular area.The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
