Christmas Eve
December 24, 2015, Saugus- This day has always been an “icing on the cake” sort. In my younger days, the parties were full-on, booze-fueled. Of the past thirty-four years, the booze has gone away, but the revelry, whether of the Grand Canyon Baha’i Conference sort, or spent hiking on one trail or another, has remained integral to my year.
I spent today walking along the east shore of Lake Quannapowit, in Wakefield, which I last visited in 2011. The day was foggy, which only added to the sense of mystery in the area. One of my paternal aunts lives at the south end of Wakefield’s downtown, so I stopped by her place for an hour.
This evening, my brother, Glenn, hosted a few of us family-members. Two of his grandbabies added a an amazing level of energy to the festivities. We also tucked into some glorious sirloin steaks, before the Santa Parade, actually a one fire truck ride-by.
Here are some more photos of the day.

Merry Christmas! It looks very foggy! Sounds like a glorious day filled with family, food,a fun and a chance to experience nature. Hope the remainder of your visit is equally wonderful.

Merry Christmas.
It's.nice to see the little girls in pretty holiday dresses.
That is a lovely gazeebo too.
I also see a hockey stick; Boston Bruins fans? I remember my father was a Whalers fan, but they are no more.
We've been foggy the past couple days too.
Be careful driving in it.
I am glad you were able to spend the evening with family.
