This is just for you non-locals, who may not know what Victorian Christmas is. Basically it is a street fair on frigid December nights in downtown Nevada City. The above picture is of said downtown. A not so long walk from our house. We like it best on summer evenings when the sunlight lingers and we can meander downtown to get a bite to eat and walk home via the park for the boys. The church at the top of the hill is where our Santa was residing. At the bottom left of the picture was the Santa that was not free- or had a real beard.
Doesn't this make you want to come and visit us? We will also take you to downtown Grass Valley (better shopping), Empire Mine, The Bloomfield ghost town, Malakof diggins, and the Yuba river. We know some great hikes and historic church buildings. And if we are lucky when you are in town there may be a good play in the theater that Mark Twain preformed in (is there an old theater he didn't preform in?). Have I lured you to our little corner of heaven yet? We would love visitors.

I have told Brian about this so many times, and to see the picture you posted literally tugged at my heart! Sigh! Nevada City seems like a dream to me at times....too cute to be true, but still there just waiting for me to come back and visit! Hopefully we make there again sometime sooner rather than later!
