This was the scene last night for the annual tree lighting in bustling (ha!) downtown Skagway. Yesterday afternoon I casually mentioned to Jeff that the tree lighting was at 5:30 (not thinking there was a snowball's chance that he'd want to go) but he surprised the crap out of me by saying yes!
So off we went after dinner to catch Santa riding up on the decorated fire truck to visit the kids of Skagway. After some singing from a local choir, the tree was lit and then everyone played tourist for awhile and stood in the middle of the street catching up with friends.
I love Christmas in Skagway!
I truly am working on some knitting posts. I've got about three queued up for this weekend while I set sail on the fast ferry to Juneau today. I'll be attending a seminar on Monday and Tuesday but tonight I'm going with friends to Perseverance Theatre's production of Leading Ladies! And I'm sure there will be some grocery shopping as well, since it's oh so nice to buy groceries in a store where they are not months expired (I'm looking at you, Fairway Market).
Coming up...Knee High Nutkins, Dwight's Beet, and Jackson's Christmas stocking...stay tuned...
Tree lighting! We have a tree festival where everyone in town hangs around and gossips. One of the reasons I bake my own bread is the less than appealing expiry dates on the bread in the store ~ have fun shopping.
