We put up our christmas tree and the lights on the outside of the house. I crammed an excessive number of lights (4 strands of 450) on the tree which is only about 5 feet tall, but ran out at the top. I decided to go with it and put on the ornaments anyway -- it looks good enough!
We went down to Old Town Alexandria for the annual parade of boat lights. I've lived here over 20 years and have never seen it, so it was time to cross it off the list. It started snowing before we left, and it was cold windy waiting on the dock for the show to begin. We saw two of the boats as they left the dock, but they headed upstream... apparently they all meet up there somewhere and then parade past the Alexandria waterfront. We got tired of waiting so I didn't get to check it off the list after all.
However, we met a guy who swears he's the real Santa, and I got a picture with him. His beard would not come off if you pulled on it, that's for sure! (the white blobs are snow flakes)
