Christmas Town at Busch Gardens

Busch Gardens decided two years ago that it could make money by staying open through the holidays and so they started Christmas Town.  They decorate the park with TONS of lights, have several little kids rides open and have each country (this park focuses on Europe) decorated with traditional decorations.  It's so pretty and we had so much fun.  The highlight of the kids trip was getting to meet Elmo and Abby at the Elmo Christmas program and getting to ride the gondola over the park at night.  Once you took off it was so pretty to look down and see the lights and enjoy the quiet night.  Unfortunately, it was also VERY cold and the kids were MAJOR troopers.  I have to admit I was freezing and so I know they were cold!  We will definitely be going back next year.

Have you seen a Sing-a-ma-jig?  They love them and are pretending to be one here.
