Photo-a-Day - December 2012 - Day 13: Made Me Feel Merry

Up until today, my joy of the season was decidedly lacking.  In fact, my approach was to try and ignore it altogether.  Today, actually 12/12/2012, changed all that.

A good friend and I went to the Christmas Festival in Tilden Park.  We were greeted by a HUGE lit tree, a delightful North Pole, Santa himself and, my favorite, their wonderful Carrousel. 

I do LOVE a carrousel.  I ride them whenever I find them.  We won't discuss my less-than-graceful dismount or the fact that next year I'll be relegated to either one of the animals that's lower to to the ground or one of the non-mount-required rides in the center.  It doesn't matter: my friend and I felt as though we'd returned to childhood.

It was truly a wonderful, and very merry, evening.
