This year, 2020, we almost missed it. We had decided not to make our annual trip to the Denton Farm Park for the Christmas Train event. Normally, this is our favorite outing during the Holidays. It's right down the road from High Rock and reminds us of Granny and Granddaddy Cole.
But this being 2020, and due to the changes required as a result, we decided to skip the whole thing.
But then Duncan took matters into his own hands.
He was so upset to miss this part of our Christmas tradition, even without the usual train ride, that we caved and bought tickets to go. On the very last evening it was open.
And aren't we glad we did! Some traditions just aren't meant to be missed. It took the tears of a child to remind us of that.
Yes, it was different. And yes, it was worth it! The drive-thru Christmas light presentation was such fun! [These fuzzy pictures don't touch it!]
We missed meeting in the little Jackson Hill Church to hear "Beautiful Star"---but hopefully next year. And the one after that. And the one after that. Etc.
...Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness,
but will have the light of life.”
but will have the light of life.”
[John 8:12]
