Another tradition experienced

This evening a friend and I went downtown to experience the 13th annual "Night of Lights." It was fun, although I was reminded that I really don't enjoy large crowds.  We saw several displays light up including the ever popular Santa and reindeers (or is it reindeer, I never know). That brought back memories of seeing the older version (before LED lights) on the side of Wolf & Dessauer's Department Store when I was about five years old.  
It was also cold tonight.  I considered it a good "dress rehearsal" for my trip to Finland next March.  I bundled up in layers, wore the heavy red coat my brother gave me with scarf and stocking cap and am happy to report that I stayed nice and warm.  Well, my nose got a little cold but that's to be expected.  Needless to say I was not concerned about looks. All in all it was a fun experience but probably not one that will become an annual must-do for me.
