Yesterday afternoon, after spending my day researching for a paper, I drove to the downtown mall for a little study break. I love strolling the mall, people watching and window-shopping! I was in for a treat when I arrived yesterday for it was the Christmas Tradition Day... can you believe it? Christmas celebrations already??
There were carriage rides taking place on the mall, twinkling lights, and even a visit from Santa Clause. Of course all of the vendors were out there too...a great opportunity for them to sell their scarves, gloves, and HATS!
Many of the tables set up around the mall offered a wide selection of colorful winter hats. With a variety of designs and styles there is sure to be a hat for everyone. For only $10 you can prepare yourself for the snowy days ahead ( fingers crossed!)
Some of the hats for sale have animal faces... perfect for young children or even the youthful adult. With many options how do you ever choose which animal to wear?!
This weekend was the kickoff for Charlottesville's holiday events. The grand downtown Christmas tree was illuminated this past Friday as well as the lights strung on the mall light posts! Saturday morning was the Holiday Heritage Parade... where Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe were all in attendance! Check out the downtown mall if you are in the mood for some holiday cheer! I know I will be going back during exams to get excited for the holiday ahead!
Have a Spectacular Sunday... and check back soon!
