Ahoy to the World!

Today we put up our Christmas Tree. I got a little over zealous and cut a little too much off the top. But it still looks pretty good - actually a lot better than I thought it would. We only got as far as putting on the lights and hanging up one ornament each before we had to head down to Seward Park for the Christmas Ships. Down there we saw a horse drawn wagon, a bonfire, and we all shared some hot chocolate and cookies. And of course we listened to some good Christmas music performed by a choir on a ship. The moon was out and the air was crisp, which made it a perfect night to listen to some music. I didn't even wear a hat!
There is the Christmas Ship that had the choir on it. Previously there had been more ships that follow it around. This year there were only about three other ships - probably because it's early into the season.
We were hoping we could hop a ride on the horse drawn carriage before the show. But it looks like you had to buy a $50 dinner if you wanted the ride. Maybe next year.
Abe sure did love getting close to the horses. He even touched one!
Everyone getting ready to listen to the music.
What a great night for some outdoor Christmas music on the water!

That was fun, not too cold to stand around in.
