Ah, it's that time of year! "Dickens" started Friday in Skaneateles for the holiday season.
We drove through the village today around 12:30 just to see what was happening. Cars were already parked up Genesee Street to the churches even though the day was cold - quite cold! - and it was still early.
At the intersection of Genesee and Jordan there seemed to be too much happening. On one corner there was a small group of carolers, on another a few musicians playing their own tunes. Across the street on lakeside there were others doing something, but we couldn't hear what. It was fun, though, festive, and everyone was smiling.
I loved the costumes up and down the street, and frankly I was envious. The big skirts, petticoats, muffs, hats with riboons drawn over cold ears, and the package wrapped by a shawl appeared quite warm, certainly warmer than my jeans!
While I dislike the early Christmas festivities, the early snow has helped ameliorate this feeling and how can you fault Dickens?
