Christmas isn't a season. It's a
feeling..........Edna Ferber
And I'm feeling the spirit as I watch the
villagers scuttling around, moving and decorating throughout the village.
Twinkling lights, wrapped packages, colorful Christmas balls, rag tied Christmas
trees, wreaths, and so much more unique decorating in front of the
studios.....really, it's enough to wear a dog out just lying here watching
them.
Balboa Park's Annual December Nights is scheduled for December 6th and 7th,
from 5 PM to 11 PM.....the museums will be free to enter, carolers, food booths,
Santas, and much entertainment will be throughout the Park.
Parking is at a premium. Valet service
is available. Shuttle service is available.
Dress warmly....
This is a family event....but if your dog
is handsome, bring him along too....as I get older, just looking at handsome
dogs is enough for me...perks the old fur up.
I will be eagerly awaiting your company
in Spanish Village Art Center. We will be festooned with colorful Christmas
decoration, twinkling lights, the aroma of hot apple cider and freshly made
popcorn, arts & crafts booths throughout the patio, live entertainment, food
booths, a jolly Santa booth for kids with an agenda, and lots of happy village
artists looking forward to sharing the ambience and spirit of the season with
you.
Franklin, the arachnophobic rat is
eagarly anticipating the free yummies dropped on the floor, while Erika the rag
cat is anticipating what Franklin would taste like....can't we just all get
along??? Brandon my poodle buddy and I will be randomly greeting everyone, and
humbly accepting handouts to munch.....although, belly rubs, head pats, and
compliments are always appreciated. I will be wearing a bright, fluffly, red
bow on my collar, and Brandon will be wearing a large, green, bow tie on his
collar.
There's a saying ' He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it
under a tree'....Roy L. Smith........however, Franklin, Erika, Brandon, me and
the other 4-legged members of the village look forward to all the goodies left
on the grounds....waiting for us to store it away.....that, I guess, are our
gifts from the Christmas season.
Well, come and celebrate with
us!
Remember to keep the Spirit of
Christmas all year round....and remind my brothers and sisters not to pee on the
tree.
I love you all!
Bella
