I hope so - sorry I didn't get a chance to give you the heads up on this great Downtown Aiken event. A yearly thing, so if you missed it you can catch it next year!
A night of a thousand lights. Downtown Aiken was aglow last night with luminaries lining the streets. Shoppes were open late for holiday shoppers. Even though it was 70+ degrees yesterday, there was still a feeling of Christmas in Downtown Aiken.
It was just like the song "Silver Bells"
..... City sidewalks, busy sidewalks.
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling
of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear ......
The only thing Aiken was missing was snow - but that is quite alright with us!
Merry Christmas :)
plan ahead---- next year it is on 12/17/09.
Hi there Kara-I saw your blog pop up so I wanted to say a quick HI and ask how you are feeling since the surgery. I hope my fav Aiken girl is feeling better. If I don't get a chance to comment again before Christmas you Have yourself a very Merry Christmas, a very Happy and prosperous New Year. I'm going to try to do a Christmas post in the next several days. Take care my friend Pat
Whoo Hoo...Kara's back! Hope you're feeling well (or at least better). We'll catch the lights next year when you can join us! Have a great Christmas!
Hi Pat - I am feeling a little better everyday--- thanks. Merry Christmas to you too Pat :)
Hey Laura - I'm getting there :) Happy Christmas to you too Laura :)
Hey, Kara. I think we got your snow over here. If you'd like some, I'll head on out and get some and ship it too you. FedEx, UPS, or snail mail? LOL
Kara.. Just looking at your pictures makes me feel like I was there. Thanks for the heads up and the dates for next year. Glad you are feeling better.

Kara, I typically love to go see events like this. Out here in the country, we do not get much to see.
Hi Russel - thanks but i'm good without it, lol. :)
Hey Valerie - I have it - I didn't open it ----- gonna wait till Christmas if that is ok with you :)
