Xmas Traditions in St. Charles

On Saturday we also went to Historic Downtown St. Charles to see Christmas Traditions, an annual event that takes place on Main St.

Almost the entire street is lined up with Christmas lights, they have carolers, and Santas from different parts of the world. And most of the antique and specialty shops are open during this time. On this street there's also a bunch of pubs and some restaurants (I have to go back during the day and take some pictures of the historic buildings because I didn't notice them the first time we drove through there and the pictures were NOT good at night).

We actually didn't get to see ANY carolers :-( But overall it was very nice to get out of the house, and see the buildings and feel the Christmas spirit :-)

El sabado tambien fuimos al Centro Historico de St. Charles a ver la Tradiciones Navidenas, un evento que se lleva a cabo en la calle principal.

Casi toda la calle esta rodeada de luces navidenas, hay grupos de gente cantando villancicos y Santas de diferentes partes del mundo. Y la mayoria de as tienditas de antiguedades y de especialidades estan abiertos durante este evento. En esta calle tambien hay un monton de tavernas y algunos restaurantes (tengo que regresar durante el dia y tomar fotos de los edificios historicos porque no los note la primera vez que pasamos por ahi en carro y las fotos NO salieron bien anoche).

No nos toco ver a ningun grupo cantando :-( Pero de cualquier manera nos la pasamos muy bien, viendo los edificios y sintiendo el espiritu navideno :-)

I thought the choice for the pose of this gingerbread man was "interesting"... Too bad their not close to each other :-D

Se me hizo que la decision de usar esta pose con las galletas de gengibre era "interesante"... Lo malo es que no estan mas cerca uno del otro :-D
