A Christmas Tradition... Postponed

Our family has a tradition of going to the Metamora Christmas Walk every year. Metamora is an old canal town in Indiana that decks itself out for Christmas. The highlights are luminaries lining the canal, countless shops selling everything Christmas related, an old fashioned steam train and Christmas spirit oozing out of every nook and cranny of this quaint little village. The Christmas walk goes on every Friday and Saturday night during the holiday season.

We were going to go tonight, but unfortunately the weather forecast is beyond cruddy. It is supposed to rain all weekend... YUCK! It is mostly an outdoor activity, so going tonight is obviously out of the question. What's most disappointing is we were going to include Michael's girlfriend this year as well as taking Sveta for her first (of hopefully many) trips to Metamora. We are going to try and reschedule, but with a jam-packed Christmas calendar, I'm not sure we can. it would be a real shame if we didn't get to go this year.

These photos do not fully represent the wonderfulness of Metamora at Christmas time. but you get a taste of what it's like. Add the smells, tastes and sounds and you have a really good idea of what the whole place is like. What a wonderful tradition the Meyer family has!
