Luminaries lined the streets last night as we drove into Cambridge. Storefronts were decorated with twinkly lights, and carolers roamed the streets singing songs of cheer while the lighted parade came down the street amidst cries of “Santa” and “Merry Christmas” from the large crowd that had gathered.
It was a merry night as we entered one cheerful shop after another to get warm and shop for presents. Each shop offered goodies for the children and refreshments. At the Log House antiques there was hot cider and yummy chocolate caramel bars and cookies. People gathered around the open fire in the hearth and warmed themselves.
Across the street at building 125 there were bags of goodies for the kids as well as at the Pour House a few doors down–many shops had drawings for door prizes. The floral shop, Roses and Rainbows, gave away light up snowmen to the children and had discounts store wide.
We ended the night with a drive through Creitz Park in Cambridge, just off the main street, to see the beautiful light display. And at the end, we got to visit Santa at the fire station and enter another drawing for prizes.
The light display at Creitz Park
will run until the end of the holiday season on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. It is worth the drive and the 5.00 donation per carload to see it!
To get a feel for the evening listen (and try to see) the video below–it was a bit dark–but still tells a story.
