Tuesday night we drove to the Toledo Zoo, to see the Lights Before Christmas. What a great time! The weather was freezing, the lights were beautiful, the snow was falling.We stopped to see the lighted peacock...he's still in the same place, year after year, "shaking" his variegated electric tailfeathers.
The REAL eagles glared at us as we tramped by their cage.
The penguins refused to perform antics, despite our imploring very politely and promising to take pulchritudinous pictures of them.
The night finished off with an area of lights coordinated to Christmas music. Several songs were played, and the lights kept time, puh RUM, puh pum pum. The most fun song was Dominic,the Italian Christmas Donkey. As soon as the music started, the whole crowd standing around began to move.
It was spontaneous.
Everyone twirled; everyone grabbed a partner; everyone grinned from ear to ear. Babies, moms, dads, teens, grandpa's...it was the coolest thing to see!
Merry Christmas to you! Merry, Merry Christmas!
