Edmonton's Candycane Lane

*Photo from Candy Cane Lane website

Funny, my mother-in-law was telling me about this not too long ago and I happen to stumble upon it tonight. Edmonton (only about a two and half hour drive from Calgary) has been the host of a wonderful Christmas tradition for over 30 years! Candy Cane Lane featured on 148 Street from 100 Avenue to 92 Avenue in Edmonton's west end boasts approximately 10 city blocks of beautiful Christmas lights and displays. Now these people have some Christmas spirit!!! Check out their great website for more details: Edmonton's Candy Cane Lane

Outdoor Christmas Lights!!!

WOW!!! I stumbled across this website today... Digs Digs "Top 10 Biggest Outdoor Christmas Lights/ House Decoration Displays"
They were not kidding, here are some photos from the site...

CP Holiday Train

Ooh I love this event! The CP holiday train comes through various cities and towns throughout the holiday season. I'm not sure when it will be this year (I will post again as soon as I find out) but it is definitely a sight to see! The train celebrated it's 10th Anniversary last year; raising food, money and awareness for local food banks! So be sure to bring a food donation to help their cause!

Shooting Stars!

Our community this year is having a Christmas light competition which has me totally consumed! I know we will not win... we simply cannot compete with the huge houses on the lake, they have so much more house to light up...
However I can give it my best shot and hope they forget - wishful thinking on my part but I can hope!

Anyways, I was going through my Martha Stewart magazines and found an article on these beautiful outdoor shooting stars... When I tried to look for them on the site so I could feature them for you all, I found better... INSTRUCTIONS!!! Go Martha!



Aren't they beautiful!!!
