McAdenville, near Charlotte bills itself as Christmas Town - and they live up to the nickname. Scores of homes are fully decorated, town trees are trimmed and brightly garbed in colorful lights and in normal years -2020 does not count as one of those, the small lake is a reflecting pool of Christmas Trees that is the focal point of celebrations. We got there well ahead of the 5:30 start time, parked and walked to a bakery where we had a slice of cake (shared!) for dinner. Then about 5:15 we started on a nearly four mile walk. House after house glowed with santas and snowmen and every imaginable type of light. What was especially neat were the kids. They were thrilled. One little guy kept running to the next house and yelling about something he would see. It was a joyful night. Lots of kids seemed to delight in wishing you a “merry Christmas” and mons and dads were delighting in their fun. Quite a nice night.
