~Christmas Is In The Air~

 ~Campus Marcius Park~

Detroit, Michigan

November 2011

I was getting ready for Thanksgiving a couple weeks back,

and not ready to start thinking

"Christmas".

However,

Tinman had a great idea:

Ice skating in Detroit at

Campus Marcius Park.

I was hesitant to ice skate in Detroit,

and actually feeling a bit tired.

But, I am never one to miss something fun with my family,

so I agreed.

We invited one of the families from our cottage,

and had dinner at Mexican Town in Detroit,

and all of us got into skates and spent the evening ice skating.

It was such a wonderful night!

The Christmas music was playing,

the beautiful Christmas tree was lit,

and we all were having so much fun.

I forgot about being tired,

and enjoyed the night with my family and friends.

And the giant Christmas tree

put a Christmas smile on my face,

and I found myself excited for the month soon to come.

So, I am ready-

Bring on Christmas!

(..who grew up ice skating, but forgot how magical it is to ice skate in the wintertime...)
