Christmastime at Atlantic Station

Right before I headed out for winter break my mom popped up to Atlanta to do a little holiday shopping at some of the stores we don't have the privilege of patronizing at home.

So what better way to get into the holiday spirit than to head over to Atlantic Station to look at the lights, ice skating rink and most importantly (and the real reason we went) the snow show!

 
The Central Park area of Atlantic Station was all decked out with lights and a giant Christmas tree that was attracting a lot of fellow spirited holiday shoppers waiting for the big snow show.







Starting at 6:00 every evening in the central park for fifteen minutes they turn on glorious snow machines for people of all ages to frolic and play around in. Nothing puts people in the mood for Christmas like fake snow, nothing at all. 

The closer it got to six the more people started to gather and by the time it was snow time. Everyone was ready to go!




It was truly magical. And I'm not just saying that as a Florida girl for whom snow has been quite rare, as soon as the music started playing and the snow started falling you would have been hard pressed to find a face in that crowd that wasn't smiling.
