Nantucket Christmas Stroll!


Christmas 2009
Happy December, everyone!

Okay, so I'm a couple days late, but hey...
I'm still excited, aren't you? ♥

Today marks the beginning of a very special event
that takes place on Nantucket every December.....



From the evening of December 3rd continuing until the 5th,
the island of Nantucket is transformed into a Dickensian wonderland!
The holiday festivities first kick off with the Chamber's annual tree lighting 
ceremony in which hundreds of trees lining the island are officially lit.

Beautiful Main Street
Other events throughout the weekend will include: Holiday story-telling,
caroling, decorating contests, walking tours, Christmas bazaars, house tours...
 And how could I forget? 
The big man himself, Santa Claus, accompanied by 
his wife, will formally pay a visit to the island (from the help of a Coast Guard 
vessel) on Saturday, parading up Main Street for a merry meet and greet!

Ho-ho-ho!
So those of you who live in or around the Cape Cod 
area, I strongly suggest you check it out!
... this is one Christmas memory 
you won't soon forget!

    1. The effectiveness of IEEE Project Domains depends very much on the situation in which they are applied. In order to further improve IEEE Final Year Project Domains practices we need to explicitly describe and utilise our knowledge about software domains of software engineering Final Year Project Domains for CSE technologies. This paper suggests a modelling formalism for supporting systematic reuse of software engineering technologies during planning of software projects and improvement programmes in Final Year Projects for CSE.

      Software management seeks for decision support to identify technologies like JavaScript that meet best the goals and characteristics of a software project or improvement programme. JavaScript Training in Chennai Accessible experiences and repositories that effectively guide that technology selection are still lacking.

      Aim of technology domain analysis is to describe the class of context situations (e.g., kinds of JavaScript software projects) in which a software engineering technology JavaScript Training in Chennai can be applied successfully

      The Angular Training covers a wide range of topics including Components, Angular Directives, Angular Services, Pipes, security fundamentals, Routing, and Angular programmability.

  8. Good morning, Erin,
    Now that's the way to do Christmas right. I sure do wish Michigan had something like that. Oh to be in Nantucket for Christmas. How incredibly dreamy. I would love it. You are such a lucky girl that you can visit these places here and there. One day... one day... I'll be out there. I know I will.

    I hope you are having an incredibly wonderful Christmas season,
    Susan

  14. Your site looks so festive and New Englandy. I would love to visit Nantucket at the holidays one year. I recently purchased a book that is brimming with photos of the island and homes that are decorated for the holidays. It is sigh worthy and inspirational.

    Autumn is not a favorite season, but I love it when December rolls around.

  16. Good morning Erin dear,

    Yahhhhhooooo! Nantucket. Love it, but seem to end up with Sue and Joe on the Vineyard when we are in the area. Friends trump travel.

    Thanks for your sweet and welcome words on my posting. I think the contrast between the holiday joy and the problems makes everything more stark.

    Love the image of your Kitchen Aid caked up!

    All joys to you,

  21. Hello hello! The stroll was so wonderful this year as I had never been on the street level. I always do the Preservation Hall craft show....for years and years! This stroll, I opened my shop at 4 Fair Street and had a ball! Everybody was in the Christmas spirit and the weather was wonderful and so on and so on! Thanks to all who stopped by. If you've never been to the Nantucket Stroll, you should come and enjoy the fun and festivities of an old fashioned Christmas! Happy holidays! :)----<
