We always enjoy the music and special programs at Christmas time. On December 6 we went into Epcot and saw the Candlelight Processional with Whoopi Goldberg reading the Christmas story. We stayed and watched the new firework exhibit which were very different and we liked very much.
Friday, December 13 we went to Florida Lakes Symphony orchestra at the Family Christian Center in Clermont.
They played the Nutcracker Suite, Winter from the Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi, some Carols and Marco Romano sang O Holy Night.
Saturday evening we went into Universal for the Holiday Parade.
These are balloons they use in the Macy's parade in New York on Thanksgiving. I have never gone,so I enjoyed seeing them close up.
Between the balloons were floats.
It was a little windy so they were kept low, but it was fun seeing how they were carried.
And of course the parade ended with Santa.
After the parade we stayed for the concert. This is the 13 year they has performed at Universal.
There are no seats, so you sit on the ground the whole time.
We had front row seating, the only problem was the speaker beside us was a little load, kbut we could really see everyone.
The music was great and the last 20 minutes was the songs from Who-ville Who's Grinchmas.
Then on Sunday was FUMC's Christmas Cantata.
Some musicians accompanied the choir and the bells played a song. Susan Brandt does a great job of conducting the choir. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the Wesley Center after the concert. What a beautiful way to celebrate the Christmas season.
