Christmas in Philly

There are things in life that I really want to like, but I just can't get there. Goat cheese is one of them, I've tried it so many times, no dice. Running, I so wish I liked to run, I just don't. And going into the city. I really want to like going into the city. I wish I could sit and tell you about all of our crazy adventures in Center City Philly, but I can't. I avoid the city, I can't stand how hard it is to park, I don't like rubbing shoulders with a million different people, and I'm a wreck behind the wheel, the roads are so narrow!

But, in the spirit of Christmas, and being that this might be our one and only Christmas here, we had to venture in and see how they celebrate Philly style. Once we were parked we had a great time! We walked through Christmas village, where they play great live music and sell all sorts of fun stuff, a lot of it of a European nature. We warmed our bellies with hot chocolate, and checked out the lights show at Macy's. This Macy's was awesome, and HUGE. On youtube they had shown a flash mob of the Halleluiah chorus that had just recently happened there. I would have LOVED to have seen it in person!

I still don't see myself running to the city every chance I get, but we did have a great time. It definitely helped to get us in the Christmas spirit!






I was really excited when I saw this thing. I don't know what it's called, but when you light candles under it, it makes the top fan spin. We had one growing up and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
