It’s good to live in a place where people are trying to sustain a certain vibrancy and connectedness. Last night, we walked around the center of town, which was a few blocks filled with street vendors and warming stations and Christmas music. It was a way for folks to feel welcomed and involved, something to enjoy, take part in.
With a light snow falling, the atmosphere felt like something out of a Currier and Ives Christmas card, or maybe a Hallmark movie. It gave a whole new feel to a part of town that normally is busy with traffic passing through and people tending to business.
The traffic was still passing through, more slowly, but the surprisingly good crowd of people didn’t exactly seem to be in a hurry, or pre-occupied with taking care of errands or avoiding the snowflakes. For the lack of better words, it was something different and nice. And the wintry conditions didn’t seem to be bothering anyone.
