Dade City Lights

 For three nights prior to Christmas, 4 0r 5 blocks of Dade City's Church St closes to traffic and lights up with luninaries lining the sidewalks.  An unbelievable sight; each home had a large Christmas Card theme with greetings to visitors as they ambled the street.  Entertainment attracted many viewers as carollers, instrumentalists and choirs performed.  Churches, as this was Sunday night, had evening services and they were opened to the public.  The lights below were set to music and even a conductor added to the setting.

 This house was magnificent with its white lights and candy cane lane and paths.  WOW! was all we could say...huge crowds gathered here to take it all in.  Just amazing!

I have no pictures, but the four of us also enjoyed the Walk to Bethlehem, enacted by Richland Baptist Church.  Live donkeys, goats and sheep were part of the setting.  An excellent  ventriloquist entertained  and told the Christmas story prior to our group being led on the Walk.  Very well done!

Christmas Eve, we attended a candlelight service at Zephyrhills Wesleyan Church.  Brief but well done!  A great way to get into the Spirit of Christmas!  It is because of the Birth of the Baby, our Lord Jesus, that we celebrate this season and we were thankfully remnided of that very clearly!
