Jacob, Nancy, Irma, and I are meandering through the Upper Peninsula, making our way towards Calumet. We left Detroit this morning and, although we could easily make the 570 mile drive in one swoop, we always stop overnight when Irma is with us. Something about 87-year-olds not enjoying sitting in the car for long stretches at a time. We traveled about three quarters of the way to our destination today and ended up in the town of Christmas for the night. We have breezed through this little city many, many times in the past, but - with the exception of dropping in on their local casino for short stints - we never really took the time to check out the area. There are decorated Christmas trees, colorful lights, and holiday displays everywhere. It is quite gimmick-y and cute. I like the atmosphere a lot.
Notice Jacob standing by Santa's boot. The picture is a bit dark because it was taken around 10 p.m. and there were clouds everywhere as well.
The streets in Christmas all have holiday-themed names.
This display is outside of the Christmas casino, where Irma won almost $80 and Nancy & I each dropped $10.
