The next night took me to VanDusen Botanical Garden for the 33rd season of Festival of Lights. It was a very cold night, with temperatures around the upper 30s (but not cold enough for the snow, which btw I missed by a week). A perfect occasion for a couple of whiskey shots to keep warm.
The next night of my Christmas tour in Vancouver brought me to the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. This is the second time coming here, but the first time seeing the Canyon Lights displays. I suggest arriving earlier before sunset to see the bridges in the day time and return for the light displays after dark. The views of the Capilano River are amazing during the day, which is not visible during the night.
This December I made my annual trip up north to Vancouver, BC to visit family for some early Christmas vibes. Of course I had originally planned for a couple hikes in Squamish & Whistler, but was totally unaware about the freezing conditions up on those northern mountains. (Give me a break, I’m from NorCal where we go most of all four seasons). So instead of the outdoor activities, I turned my attention to Christmas events since I knew a city like Vancouver would have so much to offer.
Spending time together during the holidays is something I reminisce on every single year. With Christmas just a few days away, I felt it would be perfect that I start off my Christmas blogs with one of my favorite holiday tradition - Christmas movies. So many of these holiday films have shaped the way how I celebrate Christmas. It’s also a great way to learn about the true meaning of Christmas.
