Santa Claus Lights Up Blue Ridge ! (Edited)

Saturday, November 24 was "Light Up Blue Ridge" which officially kicked off the Christmas season for our town. This annual event started a few years ago and is becoming a mountain tradition, drawing more and more visitors each year to the North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains. This year's celebration drew more than 7000 visitors! It was a beautiful sunny day but on the cold side.

I was so thankful to get to enjoy this event with my family for the first time this year. My grandchildren had a blast and to see their faces when they saw Santa and Mrs. Claus ride into town on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad gave me a thrill I will never forget.

Then Santa and Mrs. Claus and his reindeer trotted around town for everyone to see. He spent all the time needed to be sure to see each and every child who wanted to sit on his lap and reveal their Christmas wishes. This is such a fun, family event with great food and plenty of good ole' southern hospitality to go around.
