The tree is up, fireplace mantle has our stockings hanging and the poinsettas are out on display...
yep, it's definitely christmas!
Now that it's December 1st, it's more socially acceptable to greet everyone 'merry christmas' and moreover, it is more than ok to string up the outdoor lights and sing carols--even have christmas parties! I am more than excited to go to two christmas work parties and enjoy the holiday festivities around town.
What do you do in town to stay festive and merry?
If you're in town in the Vancouver area and looking for festivities, please don't forget these annual traditions:
Festival of Lights at Van Dusen Botanical Gardens. It's been a tradition for me every year to go with my boyfriend and enjoy the lights, (the coldness lol) the dancing light show at their pond and take lots of pictures!
Bright Nights Train Ride at Stanley Park. Another fun tradition for me and the bf, we take a 10 minute (i think) train ride through their nicely decorated holiday park! I love taking a ride in their mini train. We usually like to do the dinner and train ride package...A dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory with I believe $11 redeemable for an entree for each ticket and then a ticket to the train ride!
but....Don't forget a welcomed addition...
The Robson Square Ice Rink! It just officially opened today! Want to skate in the open fresh air and have hot chocolate right at the heart of downtown Vancouver!? Here's your chance! It's open til' late every night!
I hope everyone enjoys the holidays as much as I am!
