...And I celebrate Christmas because it’s His birthday. –Owl City.
Christmases at my house are usually pretty relaxed. On Christmas Eve, we open the presents under the tree. On Christmas day, we eat a delicious breakfast and open our last present or two. In the afternoon, we always go to a movie, and have a nice dinner in the evening.
This year, we went to see Voyage of the Dawn Treader in Duluth. I really enjoyed the movie. My mom thought it was kind of slow, but I loved it. The rest of my family seemed to enjoy it, too.
We decided to save our nice dinner and have it another night. Instead, we went right from the movie to Bentleyville, a huge light display that’s right next to Lake Superior. It used to be in Cloquet, but it got to be too big, so they moved it to Bayfront Park. This is a beautiful location, but it also means that it’s going to be freezing cold. As luck would have it, the bitter wind was awful. Nevertheless, we walked through it all. I took pictures until I could hardly move my fingers. Please enjoy:
