This year, we went to a family candlelight festival at the United Church of Good Sheperd on Christmas eve to experience some festive mood. Surprisingly, Sheri was quite well-behaved while daddy and mommy enjoyed the Christmas caroling.
On last Thursday night, Daddy suggested going for a night bus tour in Bethlehem, which is known as the Christmas city, to see the beautiful Christmas decorations.
As it was pretty cold outside, we waited for the bus in the waiting room.
This was the Welcome Centre cum Museum in Bethlehem. The guide who brought us on a bus tour was dressed in colonial Moravian costume. Little Sheri was still pretty well-behaved at first, but she was getting sleepy during the journey and started become cranky. Mommy and daddy were busy trying to quieten her down as we did not wish to disturb the bus ride of the rest of the passengers. I guess we learnt our lesson. It is not a wise idea to bring a 12 months old baby for such a tour as we may not be able to control her mood at times. After much struggling with mommy, little Sheri finally fell asleep on the bus and we could enjoy the beautiful Christmas decorations at last. According to the guide, there is a certain historical meaning in the Christmas lights that they put up. The view of the Lehigh Valley from the top of the South Mountain and the 81-foot-tall Star of Bethlehem were just spectacular. It was a pity that mommy's camera is not very good at capturing night shots. Anyway, it was a very memorable trip as it was something that we have not done it before and it could probably be the last time that we could share the joy in celebrating Christmas in Bethlehem-the Christmas city.
