Sunday night Mini Red and I went to get our Christmas Tree. I ended up spending more than expected but it all went to a good cause… The Bethesda Firehouse.
On our way home we started singing, as we often do, and decided to take our poem and sing it to the tune of We Three Kings, which happens to be my favorite holiday song. We had ourselves in hysterics and must have sung it at least five times.
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the decorations around town. I'm not a big fan of the colored lights and feel the white lights are better at accenting wherever they are hanging and give an elegant feel. The icicle type white lights always look so beautiful on the Victorian homes. Old Town Alexandria always looks beautiful down King Street with all the white lights in the trees and I think Bethesda does some of that too. There are some trees at the corner of Woodmont and Wisconsin, at the edge of Bethesda, which I just can't get enough of. It's all so simple but I find it absolutely beautiful.
Now I just need to finish my shopping and there's no time for baking cookies. Help!

ReplyDeleteI agree that Old Town looks great when properly lit. Unfortunately, the last time I was down there at Christmas, I was properly lit, and threw up on the cobblestone streets. I rode home in the backseat of someone's tiny car and slept on their couch. Lest you think I'm still a lush, as your opinion of me matters, that was about 12 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI'm baking cookies on Sunday. Ya want some?????
ReplyDeleteWe got our tree at the firehouse too! Wheeeeeeeeee!
Keith: Then maybe it's time you checked out Old Town Alexandria again.
ReplyDeleteCreoleSistah: Hell to da YEAH I want some! You do so much for others that I will bake you some cookies after the Holidays. Better late than never right.
I'm a single chick so I was checkin out the Men at the Firehouse but they were all babies.
