I have arrived in Niagara On The Lake ! This is my second time staying here at Christmas time and OMG it's just so beautiful. Honestly walking into the hotel with my vintage luggage makes me feel like I'm walking into the hotel in White Christmas..... especially since there is no snow lol. It was raining but there was a small window where it didn't rain so I took advantage of that, and walked around the street. I'm not sure if this is every weekend or only on a specific day but they were having an event on the main street. They closed the road to cars and everyone walked around/shopped while holding candles. You saw kids and families, even groups of teenagers all walking around with their candles and it was beautiful. You really felt a sense of community and it also felt like you stepped back in time. What a beautiful tradition ! They also had a school choir singing, which could be heard along most of the main street. I love things like that...you don't see these sort of traditions in the big cities. In Toronto (or any other major city) its much more commercial and less family oriented, which is sad.... Christmas is suppose to be cozy and joyful and filled with love. I think thats one of my favourite things about coming to Niagara on the lake at Christmas time. I feel like I'm pausing and soaking up Christmas.
Anyway so I walked outside, looked at the window displays and grabbed some dinner. It had started raining so I got some Chicken and barley soup and it really hit the spot! After that I headed back to the hotel to get cozy and watch movies, and they had put a white rose on my pillow. Such a beautiful and romantic detail ! I'm excited to see what tomorrow brings!
