Trip the Light Fantastic
Nov 26, later -
We thought we'd settle down for a long winter's nap at our campsite tonight, but what to our wondering eyes
would appear but thousands of lights and they're right over there!
Turns out we're staying at the James Island County Park a.k.a. Festival of Lights Extraordinaire. Here's
our theory (we've got a theory for just about everything): people who live in a year-round warm climate
have to overdo things when it comes to Christmas, or else they can't get into the spirit of things.
It's as though they need a huge jump start to remind them that, no, it's not the middle of summer, it's
Christmas!
And the Festival of Lights is how they do it here in Charleston. String up thousands upon thousands of lights
representing just about everything from igloos to alligators. Wait till dark. Flip the switch. Whammo,
thank you mammo. It's a Winter Wonderland! Or a Candyland. Or Toyland.
Or Sealand. They went a little overboard with the "Lands."
But that's exactly our point! Overdo it! You'll never have a White Christmas, so damn it, make it white with
50,000,000 blazing white lights and one heck of an electric bill!
Because, let's face it: The only other choice is plastic snow. And you know what that's like to
clean up. Actually, you probably don't.
