First Christmas Part I

Our Christmas season was spent all over the east coast this year. It began with a celebration right after Thanksgiving when we were in Pennsylvania. Every year we alternate between celebrating Christmas with our New Hampshire relatives and our Pennsylvania ones. Since we would be in New Hampshire this year on December 25th, my Mother called our November visit in PA "Thankmas", as she wanted to enjoy as much of Christmas as she could with Sophia. 


When we were in Washington DC during the first week of December we were able to see how our Nation's capitol was decorated. This tree at the World Bank had flags from many different countries represented.


The following week in Florida it felt odd to be listening to Christmas carols with the car windows rolled down, but it was fun when the Beach Boy's "Little Saint Nick" came on the radio. We loved the palm trees covered in lights and the beach themed decorations.


 

Back in Quincy, we had a special visitor at our house on the Saturday before Christmas. 


Our friend Hazel happens to be well aquainted with the gentleman who has been the Mayor of Boston's official Santa for many years.




His visit was a secret surprise for Sophia's Gran to enjoy with her on this first Christmas.





Christmas to be continued...
