Dow Gardens Christmas Walk

This was a new tradition that we added to our repertoire this year.  I'm glad we did! It was a great night!  The weather here has been unrecognizable for this time of year in Michigan, but for this event it was actually pretty ideal.  It was only in the forties or so, and there was no ice or snow on the ground to contend with, so our walk was very enjoyable. 

 They light up the pathways with candle-lit lanterns, and hang lights in the trees.  There are choirs singing on the lawns throughout the gardens, and it's just magical.  They had some reindeer out by the actual Dow house, and then hot chocolate and cookies in the barn.  In the butterfly house/arboretum they had a pretty poinsetta display that was so festive. 


Like I said, it was a great new tradition to add to our Midland Christmas list for years to come!
