As the Christmas season progresses, there are more opportunities to see the sights and hear the sounds of Christmas. My husband is still adjusting to Christmas as a season and not just a holiday.
We vacationed in Orlando recently and attended the Gaylord Palms Ice show. Our friends gifted us with tickets to attend this amazing display.
The resort itself is a gigantic property with boutiques, beauty shop, game room, restaurants, cafés, spa, and a water park. To stay here is similar to being on a cruise ship—it is a self contained marvel.
Theme of the ice show is different each year that features colored ice sculptures that go along with the theme. This year's theme is A Charlie Brown Christmas. A classic Christmas feature by Charles M. Schulz filled with scenes so well known in US pop culture.
In order to preserve the ice sculpture collection, the venue is kept at 9° F. Fortunately for my African husband, they provided parkas for the visit. I packed scarves and hats for us (read: him), too.
There was an ice slide, a snow tubing, photos with Santa, marketplace, and a Tudor style village square. There was so much to take in at this event.
It was a triumph in the creative arts that it was hard to believe it was all ice! The sculptures were so well done that the word "amazing" is an understatement.
