Our town has a wonderful tradition of Christmas Light Ups. All of the town holiday lights come on at the same time on the last weekend in November/first weekend in December, depending on the calendar. It transforms our quaint Main Street into something out of a romantic Christmas Movie. This year was slightly marred by the fact that the snow-line was above the downtown area - but as our home is higher than the town centre, the snow at home made our own light up much more festive.
Our local vineyards also reopen for a couple of evenings in early December for a tradition called Light Up The Vines - which is hugely popular, and very, very busy.
We stopped by three of our local wineries on Saturday night, for a combination of wine tasting and dinner. At the first, Lightning Rock, I tried out my new camera. The other stops were just full of people having fun and, I suspect, not wanting to be on a camera. We also drove past some of the crazy community lights - everyone gets into the season. Enjoy the short video.
