It’s a secret how they made this outdoor ice rink work in Texas, but nineyear-old Asher Snow has found it as slippery as the real thing. Hometown Christmas in Atlanta Friday had several first class events and experiences.
These two may be Donner, Blixen, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer,Vixen, Comet, Cupid or, last but not least, Rudolph.
The bounce houses were nothing to sneeze at for Hometown Christmas in Atlanta Dec.20. In fact,the adult may have gotten lost inside some of them.
The police car is really not after the mini-train. It just looks that way.
The swing a tree in downtown Atlanta is lately the most photographed location. Notice the big, flashy lights on the tree itself.
Hometown Christmas
Citizens Journal-Sun
The most common image seen walking around the Hometown Christmas event Friday, Dec. 20, was that of a parent, relative or friend carrying a wrapped up youngster in arms or on the shoulder.
The four-hour event was cold, and it took some walking around to become acclimated.
But once the youngsters were out of lap and arms, once the adult began to be as active as the child, all was fine.
Here are a few of the things the holiday citizen found to engage with: -- mini train
-- real reindeer with sharply pointed antlers -- an apparently real skating rink. (The slips and toppling over were certainly real.)
-- Santa Claus himself for a perfect picture in an outdoor living room -- Lots of colored lights, Christmas music and store interiors giving the appearance of a fairy land.
Hometown Christmas is certainly a fun event that tries to put forward a small town’s magic, memory and charm. Some 28 local stores and organizations were given thanks for funding the event.
