January 9th, 2016

Festival of Lights today, at Moody Gardens:  I go to see this every year - about a mile long winding path with wire figures lit with coloured lights along it.  Some fun fairy tale figures, some Christmas-y stories and events told through the lights.  I particularly enjoy the Bethlehem story, which includes audio - as the voice tells the story, parts of the display (on both sides of the path) light up; for example, Bethlehem is mentioned and the town lights up; the shepherd, angels, and star light up as they are announced, etc. Susan and Vernon, Joan's brother, walked around and enjoyed everything.  Another highlight is the Twelve Days of Christmas, sung as the elements of the song light up at the correct moments.
