Catching Up, and other stuff

I really must apologize for not keeping this blog up to date as I should, but so much has kept me so busy it's been practically impossible.
Meanwhile, Christmas is almost here with its celebrations, displays, events, and lights. Christmas in Natchez is a hometown affair, though not without its excitement. The big Christmas Tree is put up in the center of downtown, buildings are strung with lights, and there's a Christmas display on the bluff that's beautiful to look at. Vidalia's Christmas display is a sight not to miss. Mechanical vignettes line the roadway that travels along the river at the RiverFront. In them, the elves build their toys and place them on the train to the North Pole, Santa puts the star on the tree, and lots more. It's a treat to drive slowly along, car lights off, and see all the different scenes.
Choirs sing, shops decorate, and all the other wonderful things that go with the Holiday.
One thing we love to do is simply to drive through the different neighborhoods that are famous for their lighted displays. There are several around town that are great fun to see. We pack the car up with friends and relatives and go from place to place. If you're a visitor here and not familiar with where to go to see this show, just ask a local. Most have their favorites, and will instantly give directions.
There's lots more going on in Natchez for Christmas, but to get a complete list go to the Calendar of Events and check out the Natchez Downtown Development Blog.
