I am leaving in just a few to participate in one of our fave holiday traditions. The first saturday in December in my town is the big Festival of Lights. It's a beautiful lighting ceremony downtown and a fabulous nighttime parade. But the best part of it is the event that kicks it all off, The Jingle Bell Run. Thousands of people register and run/ walk/ skate/ push stollers/ walk dogs through a down town course wearing santa hats and jingle bells tied to their sneakers. It is a beautiful sight, not to mention the sound. It puts me in the spirit because every jingling bell represents a person who has given a toy to Toys for Tots!
