Last night, I went to the Illumination at the Morton Arboretum. Walking around looking at the lights and drinking hot chocolate will sure make you feel like a kid again! It was just beautiful!
As a kid, we didn’t have anything like the Morton Arboretum near us. But every year, we drove around town in the evenings to see the Christmas lights put up on various homes – it sure puts you in the holiday spirit! My favorite was always Dr. Herman’s house – he lived in a big 2 story house with a big porch and on the roof of the porch, he had Santa flying the sleigh with all the reindeer. I wasn’t the only one that loved that house – people in town had a Cat’s Meow figure of the house created that was sold in a shop downtown! And when the house was finally sold, a condition of the sale was that Santa and the reindeer would continue to be displayed every year. So Santa has been on that house for more than 50 years! Here’s my Cat’s Meow figure:
I’m enjoying my blast from the past – what makes you feel like a kid again? Leave a comment and tell me!
