Christmas in the South

We have been trying to hit up as many holiday events as possible around Charleston.  On Friday, we packed up our folding chairs and blankets then were off to Park West Recreation Complex in Mt. Pleasant to watch Elf in the park!! The best part ... it was free!

Anything free that is festive makes me smile! 

About halfway through the movie we left because this little wimp couldn't take the chilly weather.  Next year, I will bring a hat, gloves and hot chocolate.  

We were lucky to get a FREE pass to the Festival of Lights on James Island from Sarah & Scott(Thank You)  and we were eager to go.  We went last night with Thurman! He wasn't as excited about driving around in the car to look at lights as we were, but it beat sitting at home by himself.

Let me start by saying we were not expecting much! (If you are from upstate NY and have been to the Albany Festival of lights you know what we mean)  We thought the Festival of Lights on James Island was SPECTACULAR!  There was so much to see ... three mile drive of millions of light displays, marshmallow roasting, pictures w/ Santa, carousal rides and MORE!  This will definitely be a Bogan Family tradition! 

Some of our favorite lights:
